Pema Chodron helps us uncover and transform the fundamental beliefs that cause us to suffer so that we can increase our capacity to love ourselves and others. Pema begins her teaching by declaring, "We live in a culture of fear and guilt, always feeling like we aren't good enough." She then shows the way out of this trap by revealing how the entire spiritual path is really about cultivating fearless self-acceptance. She draws on five traditional Tibetan Buddhist aphorisms to frame her teachings:
- "Reveal your hidden faults for accepting our imperfections
- "Approach what you find repulsive" for facing suffering with an open heart
- "Help those whom you think you cannot help" for awakening compassion
- "Anything you are attached to, give that" for developing generosity
- "Go to the places that scare you" for finding courage in all aspects of life
Pema unpacks these aphorisms and helps us understand how they can form the structure for living a more courageous life. She also holds an extensive question-and-answer session and leads guided meditation practices on overcoming shame and guilt, staying open in the face of pain, transforming our relationships with difficult people, and increasing our feelings of generosity.

Have you ever had an itch and not scratched it? In the Buddhist tradition, this points to a vast paradox: that by refraining from our urge to "scratch," great peace and happiness is available. On Getting Unstuck, Pema Chodron introduces a rare Tibetan teaching she received from her teacher, Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche, and one that has become critical to her practice. Here, she unveils the mystery of an ineffable quality; a "pre-emotional" feeling that arises in us, brings us discomfort, and causes us to react by escaping the discomfort often with harmful habits. With Getting Unstuck, she offers us a first look at "both the itch and the scratch": what Tibetan Buddhists call ... shenpa.

We all have fears, but when we look closely at them, we discover that behind each fear resides a basic fear of ourselves. Were afraid to look at our habitual styles of thinking and behaving because we might not always like what we see. Ironically it is this fear of honest self-reflection that keeps us trapped in patterns of stress and discontentment. Here is a vision for moving beyond this most basic fear to discover the innate bravery, trust, and joy that reside at the core of our being. In this recorded retreat, Pema Chdrn shares teachings inspired by the book Smile at Fear, which was written by her teacher Chgyam Trungpa. She, and her teaching assistant, Carolyn Rose Gimian, also share practices they received from Trungpa Rinpoche for courageously meeting ourselves in the present moment, including:
The Windhorse Practice: a three-step meditation on awakening confidence
Spiritual Warrior training for meeting life with courage and compassion
Meditation instruction for calming the mind and developing concentration

This audiobook is an indispensable tool for cultivating fearlessness and awakening a compassionate heart. With insight and humor, Pema Chödrön offers guidance on how to accept our flaws and embrace ourselves wholeheartedly as a prerequisite for developing compassion. She frames her teachings around fifty-nine traditional Buddhist practice slogans (called lojong in Tibetan), such as: “Always maintain only a joyful mind,” and “Don’t seek others’ pain as the limbs of your own happiness.” Working with these slogans we begin to develop the courage to face our inner pain and thereby discover a wealth of joy, well-being, and confidence.

Tibetan Buddhism describes three gates that everyone must pass through on the road to spiritual liberation.With The Three Commitments,
Pema Chodron brings her unique blend of insight and gentle instruction
to guide practitioners through each of these thresholds as they seek
the source of true happiness. As Pema explains, suffering arises when
we resist the law of impermanencethe fact that everything we know,
including ourselves, will one day die.Here she provides teachings and
practices for fully embracing life's ephemeral nature using these three
traditional monastic vows, or "commitments":
- The Pratimoksha vowshow we can find personal liberation through the inner work of letting go
- The Bodhisattva vowshe way of genuine and compassionate service to others
-
The Tantric vowshow to accept impermanence with true equanimity and
touch the underlying stillness from which all worldly forms arise
In the past, initiates took their vows when
entering the secluded world of the monastery. Today, laypeople are also
embracing these commitments as a way to deepen their practice while
fully participating in everyday life. Through her practical instruction
and accessible interpretation of ancient wisdom, Pema Chodron helps
listeners discover how each of these sacred vows is not a burden or
restriction, but a guiding beacon on the path to liberation.
