Comments

Kindle Customer: An interesting book on living in awareness and kindness was delivered quickly and in great condition.
Thank you for helping me acquire this book required for a just starting course.

Scott Novis: I don't know what I could add other than to share I am glad I started to discover her work here. Great works feel like they were written for you personally. This book feels like that doubly so. It is so rare to read a book and think, oh the author knows me! But that is how this felt. I am so grateful I picked it up and found myself here now.

TONDY: A very inspiring book that it easy to read and full of insights that only Pema can convey.

She describes the issues involved in our search for the awakened state in easy to grasp language.

Several surprising thought nuggets are interspersed throughout the book, like samsara and nirvana are one and the same, and inconveniences are to be welcomed, not avoided.

I am constantly reading mindfulness/ Buddhist books, and this is one of the best books I’ve read.

Scoobysnack: We don't meditate in order to throw ourselves away and become something better, rather we make friends with who we actually are.
This concept blew me away, and in trusting it I feel like I've taken a huge leap forward.

Orlando: If your life has been feeling like a vinyl lp with the needle in place going round and round digging deeper into the groove yet going nowhere? You are not alone. I wish you a good journey because if you picked up this book, you are waking from a lifetime of
existing with eyes wide shut.

Frank Bruno: It's difficult to go at this because any reader might come to the piece from so many different perspectives. This is not a work of scholarship, nor is it evangelical. And I find each of those points greatly in its favor. I think it would be best to read it after checking out a survey source to familiarize yourself with the essentials of the tradition. I strongly suggest Huston Smith. Smith was a preeminent scholar of world religion and a Buddhist practitioner (among several other spiritual traditions-really!) for many years while maintaining his identity as a Christian: a fascinating guy whose work deserves a lengthy review of its own.

PC's central point is that all of this stuff is about developing genuine compassion/Lovingkindness/Maitri for ourselves, and thereby for the other living beings of our world. Nothing here about floating around under the ceiling, holding your breath for an hour and a half...or finally coming to THE TRUE RELIGION...or THE TRUE BUDDHISM, either. It's about how to live well by incorporating an honest spiritual practice and set of rational beliefs into our life. I would also like to stress the importance of PC being a native English speaker. Sadly...

Scott Ferreira-Costa: A really great book that doesn't require any knowledge or even belief in Buddhism to understand and appreciate. There is so much wisdom in this little book that even though I've read other similar authors, I'll always come back to this book over the years and have read it countless times.

Cliente do Kindle: Pra ser bem honesta eu comprei este livro na ultima semana porque tem algumas pessoas na minha vida profissional que não me acrescentam nada, só sugam e eu simplesmente não estava com vontade nem de olhar pra elas, não que sejam pessoas ruins, mas estava me perguntando a tempos, porque me importar, porque lhe dar com elas se não recebo nada de bom disso?

Ouvi falar da autora porque faço yoga e ela me foi indicada e o título desse livro me chamou a atenção. Nunca li nada sobre Budismo e os ensinamentos da autora não são nenhuma novidade, mas relembrar de que tudo isso, o bom, o ruim, a alegria, a tristeza e tudo mais é o que é a vida fez diferença... me lembrou de espirar e que um pouco de bondade, paciência com os outros e com nós mesmo é essencial.

Definitivamente vou ler o livro novamente porque não dá pra absorver tudo de uma vez.

Sobre a pergunta que fiz no início da minha avaliação de porque lhe dar com certas pessoas o que no momento extraí do livro foi "faça para que ninguém mais tenha que fazer" e não me tornei nem de longe um iluminada por enquanto isso tem sido suficiente e estou me sentido bem melhor, afinal o propósito do...

J C Greenway: I highlighted many of the sentences in this book as I read and you will too! Before I had even got to the end, I was telling good friends to read it so we could talk about it. It is that kind of book, where you want everyone you know to read and benefit from it. The title is taken from its original existence as a series of talks given at the author's institute in Nova Scotia. There are big windows looking out to sea and, literally, no escape. But what she is telling her readers is that you do not have to be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by natural beauty and enjoying the peace and quiet to do it perfectly. She talks honestly of her own struggles and stumbles on the way. You will too, she tells us, but you shouldn't beat yourself up about it.

Zoe: I've had a tough time for the last while and have been trying to learn about Mindfulness...but I never actually GOT it until I read this book. A friend of mine lent me his copy and I just couldn't believe how easy it was to say YES, now I know...and understand - talk about a light bulb going on, or whatever the term is! I wanted to highlight parts...practically the whole book but obviously couldn't as it wasn't mine! I ordered a copy for myself as it's one you need to have on hand to pick up and read over and over again. Pema Chodron is an American Buddhist nun who is a resident teacher at Gampo Abbey in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the first Tibetan monastery in North America established for Westerners.

I can't say enough about her writing and how easy it is to read. In no way does she just preach about Buddhism, but about LIFE even throwing in a few spicy words now and again. I just wish the whole world would read it, then maybe the sad state of affairs in many countries, caused by ignorance, just might be a better place. Now I'm absolutely hooked and there are so many books here on Amazon of hers to choose from, I want them all! In fact I wish I could share a cup of tea...
