  • With The Freedom to Love, Pema Chödrön invites you to start wherever you are-with any challenges, frustrations, or fears you may be facing-and use them as the launching pad to awaken the natural and boundless capacity of your heart.
    Do you want to love and connect with others more deeply, but need a little help?
    Struggling with Matters of the Heart? This Is the Place to Bring Them
    Through six sessions of intensive learning and practice, this beloved and gifted teacher will guide you through traditional Buddhism’s traditional awakened heart training . . . with a difference.
    Pema might have named this course “Working with the Hard Stuff”-because here she’ll be showing us how to use the principles of The Four Immeasurables in our most challenging situations, relationships, and emotional states.

    Pema has helped me so much through divorce and single parenthood and now through a cancer diagnosis. Sometimes I think why me...but then I realise why not? Everyone suffers. This is just my brand of suffering.

      I like to read a lot about nutrition and have come across many foods containing nutrients that STARVE CANCER.
      These nutrients are specific to your personal immune systems deficiencies.
      To get your health turned around faster than your oncologists will ever believe possible, see a Doctor who does "Functional medicine" who will test you for things that endocrinologists, immunologists, oncologists and allergists don't know to look for.
      Functional Medicine are Post graduate doctors who are usually specialists in traditional medicine- and do Integrative Medicine, a combination of both.
      It's definitely the right move to be on the path of collecting and contemplating the Dharma until our wisdom becomes habit.
      Best wishes for your future successes and long life.
      🙏🙂🌻

      ​@@doyleclanperthThey're the only docs who consider the likelihood of parasites, & treat for them, in the U.S. Cancer, MS, depression, chronic fatigue, anxiety, RLS, heart disease...it's all from parasites or yeast overgrowth, my doc said. Getting worms out is surreal relief, & hard. Wormwood, hyssop, cloves, ginger, albendazole, praziquantel, celery & sunshine ...just is not what a standard doc is gonna prescribe!

    One thing that helps is to realize that I am the witness of the pain. The pain comes and goes but 'I' awareness am present through it all.

    I just wanted to share a little story about six degrees of separation. I've lived in Seattle since the early 90's.
    I worked for a company and had to go do to New York on a regular basis. On one of these trips there was a woman who decided that she was entitled to take my seat and thought she could get me to just push over to her seat which was the middle seat!! Because she was ten years older than me. She thought that I would just sheepishly comply.
    Needless to say this woman was in for a rude awakening. While her and I verbally sparred going back and forth as to why I could not give her my seat. Eventually the flight attendant got involved and asked would anyone be willing to give up their seat?
    This very quiet but strong voice said I will!! I turned around to see her sitting there. Pema Chödrön who I'd taken a brief course on spirituality & prayer a few years earlier.
    It was an interesting trip to New York she was on her way to meet with the Dalai Lama. We talked about why conflict happens. I realized that my stubbornness was actually attributed to another issue I had at the time with my mother.
    In our time together I learned so much from her that day. After meeting the Dalai lama her plan was to set up a monastery in Minnesota.
    So that my friends is how small the world is. ❤ Be kind 🙏

    Thank you, Pema. I'm starting to find some hope and purpose in your words and the words of other teachers like Tich Nhat Hanh. I'm 25 and suffering from schizophrenia. My day to day life feels like constant inescapable suffering and it's quite scary sometimes. I want to study and practice mindfulness and meditation sincerely and become better at it to try and improve my quality of life. You're wonderful and I'm looking forward to finding more of your works 💜

    Pema, I just received an email from Sounds True selling your audio course, based on the teachings of the Buddha, for $400.
    Your words of inspiration have helped so many people.
    But Buddha was very clear on the subject of making money on the subject of liberation from suffering. How can there be any price for that?
    I feel grateful to have found the teachings of the Buddha uncontaminated by money from S.N. Goenka who teaches Vipassana.
    One can take a 10 day course with lodging, food and the teachings for free.
    There is no theory….only practice and direct experience.
    Pema, don’t allow corporations to exploit you or your precious gift to help so many people.
    Blessings to you and stay happy and free.
