For more than 800 years, Tibetan Buddhists have used the practice of lojong, or “mind training,” to transform difficulties into insights. On Awakening Compassion, Pema Chödrön, one of the Western world’s best-known lojong teachers and practitioners, shows you how to use your own painful emotions as stepping-stones to wisdom, compassion, and fearlessness. You will learn how to make friends with the painful parts of your life experience, and how to use your natural courage and honesty to transform even the most difficult situations. With an informal teaching style, both playful and insightful, Pema makes this timeless way of bringing compassion into the world easy to understand and apply to your own life. Relevant and powerful, Awakening Compassion will nourish your passion for the adventure awaiting you in every moment of your life.
