Brand New : 2.25 hours 2 CDs
Happiness is your birthright - and it happens to be available at any provided time, teaches Pema Chodron. So why di we reside in such suffering? 'The possible for joy is not based on outer aspects - they come and go, causing us misery', she starts. 'We're constantly chasing after anything, striving to avoid the difficult places. But there are a great deal of tiny sweetnesses that we ignore because they're thus fleeting.' On True Happiness, Pema Chodron guides us through simple yet efficient practices that show us how to recognise and nurture these moments of delight, cultivating them until they become more and more frequent, accessible, and real.
Recorded at Gampo Abbey Monastery in Nova Scotia, True Happiness attributes highlights within the full-length sound understanding course of the same title, and provides you the chance to absorb the teachings of Pema Chodron at your pace. Join this best-selling writer and beloved instructor for classical meditations and practices to dissolve the barriers to your heart, reconnect with your standard goodness, and cultivate a sense of joy - by understanding to enter all-natural 'windows' of spaciousness that open us to versatility.

Chödrön started to research with Lama Chime Rinpoche in the French Alps, and became a Buddhist nun in 1974 while studying with him in London. She initially met Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in 1972, and at the urging of Lama Chime Rinpoche, she took him as her root guru. She studied with him constantly from 1974 until his death in 1987.
In 1984, Chödrön moved to Gampo Abbey, and became its director. There, she published her initially 2 books to common important acclaim. In late 2005, Pema Chödrön published No Time to Lose, a commentary on Shantideva's Bodhisattva's Way of Life.
