Synopsis: In this 3 CD programme, Pema Chodron draws on Buddhist teachings from the Way of the Bodhisattva to reveal how to find happiness amid the inevitable shocks, losses, and frustrations of living. Based on a recorded weekend retreat, She encourages us to develop the courage to investigate these experiences with an open heart, instead of avoiding or reacting to them. It is only when we courageously face painful experiences head on that we will be released from the "hooks" of anger, blame, and other habitual responses that only cause suffering for ourselves and others.
Life has a way of provoking us with traffic jams and computer malfunctions, with emotionally distant partners and crying children - and before we know it, we're upset. We feel terrible, and then we end up saying and doing things that only make matters worse. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Pema Chodron. It is possible to relate constructively to the inevitable problems and obstacles of life so that we can find true happiness. The key, she explains, is not biting the "hook" of our habitual responses. She reveals how we can: stay centred in the midst of difficulty, improve stressful relationships, step out of the downward spiral of self-hatred, and awaken compassion for ourselves and others. |
