  1. What a wonderful way to start the morning! I have been reading Pema's book, "The Wisdom of No Escape" with my meditation group. Recently I taught a yoga class with the theme of making friends with oneself, with all the sensations of yoga practice, with all the things that come to mind as we practice. It's such a rich, fundemental idea, as Pema says. I think this could be my teaching theme for the year. Thank you!

  2. Thank you for posting this and for sharing it with me. I am sure to share it and keep the word going.
    Maitri is probably the most important concept for us to comprehend, particularly in this stressful culture in which we live.

  3. How I love Pema, and how she has changed and improved my life !!! I particulary love the books "Practicing peace in times of war" and "Getting unstuck" but then... I love all she teaches and how she teaches it. THANK YOU !

  4. Glad to have found this blog. I have always appreciated the teachings of Pema. I live in a Christian community so it is very hard to come by folks who want to discuss such things. I look forward to the content and discussions here.

    And I'm a pretty cynical bastard.
