Changing heart towards pain: Pema Chodron

Changing our heart towards pain: Pema Chodron

(Sounds True) Aug. 31, 2022. With The Freedom to Love, Pema Chödrön invites us to start wherever we are — with any challenges, frustrations, or fears we may be facing — and use them as the launching pad to awaken the natural and boundless capacity of our heart. #Buddhism

Do you suppose things will fall apart again?

Do we 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 American Buddhist teacher guides us through Buddhism’s traditional awakened heart training...with a difference. She might have named this course “Working with the Hard Stuff” — because here she shows us how to use the principles of The Four Immeasurables (Brahma Viharas or Divine Abidings) in our most challenging situations, relationships, and emotional states.
