The Fearless Heart

The Practice of Living with Courage and Compassion

De: Pema Chodron

Narrado por: Pema Chodron

Fear and guilt are two of the greatest challenges we face on the spiritual path—but there is a way to transform these painful feelings into courageous self-acceptance. Here Pema Chödrön presents the five aphorisms for developing fearlessness that were given to Machig Lapdronma, one of Tibetan Buddhism's greatest female teachers. Pema comments on these aphorisms, holds question-and-answer sessions, and leads guided meditations to help us:

• overcome shame and guilt

• remain courageous in the face of pain

• transform our relationships with difficult people

• increase our feelings of generosity and compassion

This program also includes a card with the five aphorisms and study.

Pema is inspiring

I also find her to be comforting and grounding. She has a great sense of humor, and a lovely way of sharing the challenges that come with working to break our patterns.

Great advice for living

I’ve been listening to Pena Chodron for awhile now. I love the teachings but mostly I love listening to it in her own voice. She is very funny and human. It’s good to be able to laugh at a very serious topic — the human condition.

Powerful and eye-opening

Recorded from a live retreat, this book dives into the practice of becoming conmfortable with discomfort. Through her teaching laced with humor and the guided practices, Pema Chodron explains this concept in a way that's understandable even for non-practicing Buddhists. This was my second time listening to the book - the first was while commuting to work, the second was when I treated myself to a "mini-retreat" at home. This book will certainly be referred to again and again for its wisdom and for my personal growth.

Awesome teachings! I have been looking for this for many years

I have tried many different tactics! Psychology, Tony Robbins but this really gets you to the path of healing your inner pains and healing fears!
Just awesome!

Pema Does it Again

Fantastic lectures. Always right on point and always flows so nicely. So fitting Pema always says the right things when you need it most.

A turning point

This series of lectures provided me with a breakthrough in dealing with my day to day stresses, fear and anger at work and home. I learned that abiding in my strong emotions and feeling compassion for myself and all others who are going through similar experiences is the key. I learned that I judge too quickly and spend a lot of my time trying to avoid uncomfortable feelings. It’s essential to practice regularly to get the real value from these teachings and it could take years to achieve mastery but at least I know what to do now. Thanks Pema

Loved it

I have most of pema's books. I loved this one. If you are on the fence, go for it

Super duper!

Pema amazing as always, light and humorous!
This is one of the 8 or so I have of her and its hard to figure out which one is better than which. All have been super good!

Amazing teacher

As always, Pema delivers beautiful in a very relatable and down to earth way. She never disappoints and I never tire of listening to here.

Pema is the Real Deal

She's smart, humble, funny, compassionate and I wish she was my next door neighbor. She has been an enormously helpful teacher and I love her. If you're not Buddhist it makes no difference. She's a down to earth New Yorker, no woo woo BS.
