And Other Lojong Teachings on Awakening Compassion and Fearlessness
For centuries Tibetan Buddhists have employed a collection of pithy, penetrating slogans to help them develop equanimity, intelligence, and compassion amid the turbulence of daily life. This book presents this transformative spiritual practice (called lojong in Tibetan) in a way that readers of any background can understand and put to use.

Each lojong slogan is followed by Pema Chödrön’s fresh, succinct, and inspiring commentary on how to understand and apply the maxim in everyday living.

Also included is a 45-minute audio program entitled “Opening the Heart,” in which the author offers in-depth instruction on tonglen meditation practice (“taking in and sending out”), a powerful practice that anyone can undertake to awaken compassion for oneself and others.

In this pithy, inspiring book, Pema Chödrön presents the Buddhist concept of shenpa—which can be translated as “getting stuck” or “getting hooked”—and shows us how we can liberate ourselves from it. Shenpa is that irritating sensation that arises in moments when life suddenly becomes disappointing, difficult, or painful. Perhaps someone criticizes your work, your appearance, or your child. Something within you tightens, shuts down. That’s shenpa. After we tighten, we instinctively start to blame ourselves or others. We might get angry and lash out in words or actions. Or we might reach for a cigarette, a drink, or some other addictive substance to numb our pain. Chodron shows us the way out of these habitual reactions that keep us locked in cycles of suffering.

When Things Fall Apart; Heart Advice for Difficult Times
By: Pema Chodron
Our Price: $12.95
Members Price: $11.66

There is a fundamental happiness right within our reach, yet we usually miss it -- ironically, while caught up in attempts to escape pain and suffering.  Pema Chodron's radical and compassionate advice for what to do when things fall apart in our lives goes against the grain of our usual habits and expectations and confronts us with traditional Buddhist wisdom.  There is only one approach to suffering that is of lasting benefit, Pema teaches, and that approach involves moving toward painful situations to the best of our ability with friendliness and curiosity, relaxing into the essential groundlessness of our entire situation.  It is there, in the midst of chaos, that we can discover the truth and love that are indestructible.
