When it comes to meditation, Pema Chödrön is widely regarded as one of
the world's foremost teachers. Yet she's never offered an introductory
course on audio--until now.
On How to Meditate with Pema Chödrön, the American-born Tibetan
Buddhist nun and bestselling author presents her first complete
spoken-word course for those new to meditation.
Through traditional insights and her personal guidance, offered in 12
sitting sessions, Pema Chödrön will help you honestly meet and
compassionately relate with your mind as you explore:
The basics of mindfulness awareness practice, from proper posture to
learning to settle to breathing and relaxation
- Gentleness, patience, and humor--three ingredients for a well-balanced
practice
- Shamatha (or calm abiding), the art of stabilizing the mind to
remain present with whatever arises
- Thoughts and emotions as sheer delight--instead of obstacles--in
meditation
From my own experience and from listening to many people over the years,
I've tried to offer here what I feel are the essential points of
meditation, explains Pema Chödrön. Now this beloved voice shares with
you her accessible approach--simple and down-to-earth while informed by
the highest traditions of Tibetan Buddhism--on How to Meditate with
Pema Chödrön.
