Abstract

Let compassion and fearlessness guide you and you?ll live wisely and effectively in good times and bad. But that's easier said than done. Here Pema Chödrön introduces a powerful, transformative method to nurture these qualities using a practice called lojong, which has been a primary focus of her teachings and personal practice for many years. This book presents fifty-nine pithy slogans from the lojong teachings for daily contemplation and includes Pema?s clear, succinct guidance on how to understand them?and how they can enrich our lives. It also features a forty-five minute downloadable audio program entitled Opening the Heart.
