Happy Sunday. This is one of my favorite things to listen to as I work on healing. Despite yet another year of blinding pain, pure pain both physically as well as emotionally I'm working through it. Every year around this time I reflect on the year as well as what I've endured and the fact that I'm still here. Not locked up nor taking a dirt nap. Even though with both kinds of pain and fear that I've had to endure I'm still here despite. Not my turn yet. nor quite time for me to coast. Non the less I have choice and I work towards my peace quiet and tranquility. Life is work as well as a test. I value my choices as it's my turn with my life. Peace and be well to all.
@@triplej-jade4808 Hi Julian, I am doing my best 7 years later I have more emotional pain than physical these days. Listening to Pema still makes a very big difference and helps a lot. I had a life-changing diagnosis this past spring after having my first surgery in life that helped with some of the pain issues. After the diagnosis, a friend of mine suggested that I listen to Pema's Ripe time. I also listened to her Groundlessnes as that is the only way that I could describe how I felt at that time. Getting Unstuck still helps also really helps a lot along with other meditations. clearly, meditation helps me a lot along with listening to myself and respecting my body. Not letting the pain rule me, but respecting it as pain is a symptom that there is something wrong and it needs to be taken care of. Hope that you are well.
This is true with other creatures too, like our beloved dogs. Dogs are usually labeled as aggressive if they strike out. Like us, they strike because of past experiences or fear. They are protecting themselves. We do to this too, in a different way. What I have discovered over years of team work with dogs and their people is that we share similarities. We self medicate with whatever our soother is (food, drugs, alcohol). Dogs do too. Ever worse, they follow our habit, so will self-destruct in similar ways. Training our dogs, reaching into fear, smiling at it, changing what we can and managing the rest ... with that smile, works!
I can't tell you how many times Pema's teaching have helped me through difficult times in my life. She is a beautiful person and has so much to share. I'm not Buddhist, however these teachings are for everyone :) Thanks Pema
Confronting fear. Leap into your fear. Fear itself is the vanguard of courage. Embracing that which one fears. Simply being open as well to that which is uncomfortable and hard.
There is no question that there is a danger of becoming trapped in some form of introspection but then the middle path has been lost. In the same way service of others can degenerate into service of the projections of our own ego: there is no use in that. Without basic wakefulness - awareness of the fundamental reality that neither self nor others ultimately have any persistent meaning - all human action - no matter how apparently noble - is mere posturing
meet and touch the fear, because there is only oneness which is the fear itself, there is no the judge, the analyser. Only fear. And the magic is it will start to disintegrate
I Love the teachings that this woman shares. but in the end I believe that no matter what people think or what people do that without Divine Grace they are not able to live in the Highest Peace. The human heart sadly has a darkness that I personally believe can only be dispelled with the injection of Divine Light and Energy and Healing
Right, because of capitalism people’s lives are getting progressively worse: price gouging, homelessness, no job guarantee, student debt, no healthcare, over policing and surveillance, endless war, apartheid and now genocide. We must work together to end capitalism before it destroys us and the planet. ❤
I read a lot of Pema Chodron's books and have listened to a fair amount of stuff on youtube. She's OK as a teacher, but really much of her work is truly Repetition, repetition, repetition.
I disagree. Her life's work covers so many ideas. Her message is simple in each book and she does a lot of talks, so of course, there is some repetition if the talk is related to the same topic every time. Even if this were true, she's not offering a shopping mall of ideas for us to pick from. The message is very basic - we are suffering and we can learn to face. There is some good in having many new interpretations of that concept.
No. Of course not. First you recognize the effect the job is having on your life. And then you make a decision about what steps to take. Definitely find another job if you can.
在大乘佛教中有《心經》《金剛經》，這是講述大乘佛法中，禪宗證悟了第八識心如來藏後的解脫功德受用，也是真正大乘佛法的入門。《心經》：「觀自在菩薩，行深般若波羅蜜多時，照見五蘊皆空，度一切苦厄----。諸法空相。不生不滅、不垢不淨、不增不減（第八識心如來藏；阿賴耶識）。----三世諸佛，依般若波羅蜜多故，得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提（無上正等正覺）。故知般若波羅蜜多，是大神咒、是大明咒、是無上咒，是無等等咒，『能除一切苦，真實不虛。』---。在西方世界一直誤解喇嘛教是佛教，這是對東方文明、中國文化的不了知。在西元七世記末，藏王赤松德贊引入『印度教』的蓮花生，結合了本土原有的『苯教』，而形成了『喇嘛教』。在經過蓮花生、阿底峽、宗喀巴--等等印度教密教法師，不斷的修改，加入了佛教的名辭用語，而這些名辭用語表面上是佛教用語，但實質上是暗指印度教的男女雙修，一般人稱為是『譚崔瑜伽』（無上瑜伽）。在喇嘛教裡找不到真正的佛教修行方式；解脫道與佛菩提道。請搜尋：《西藏文化談》（A Taik on the Tibetan Culture) 或《真心新聞網》（True Heart News)。阿彌陀佛！
Right- but what I'd like to know is if there is any such thing as an, "unloving kindness?" Is that what Westerner's refer to as, "niceness," which may be full of good promise and impressively well mannered but empty hearted and lacking depth? Can an, "unloving kindness," be conceptualized as anything at all, or is it a nonsensical term only implied by the conceptualization of a, "loving kindness?" Please help.
My teacher. She’s saved my life so many times.
❤❤❤
Me too ❤
I have this cd & listened to it nightly when I first received it. She so compassionate & wise.
Wonderful teacher !! Na'maste💗🙏
I have lived in fear for a long time. Fear of myself, and living up to my expectations. Thank you Pema for helping me forgive myself.
I have a cd of this & listened to it nightly to really get it. She is so clear & kind. It's helped me so much.
Great teachings and sharing🙏🙏🙏
I love 'touch what comes up and let it go'. Such a subtle thing when speaking about meditation, but so very helpful.
thank you - very needed during these times-

Thanks pema...!!!
Thank you Pema!
(deep bows)
Thank you for watching Peter!
FEAR, when it is not based on a life or death situation, is basically "Forgetting Everything’s All Right (FEAR)"
David Coppola Thank You for this great life-giving reminder. Thank You.

Nobody needs a spiritual leader. you are truth. let go of everything. be the witness.
ego binds.
Most of us have no idea how to destroy the ego. We need spiritual guides.
Guidence is very helpful though 🙃
really great video thanks!
"Place fear in cradle of loving kindness" - nice mental constrcut but it's only that.
so wise
8:19 - 9:03
Touch what's coming up and then let it go. (Don't repress but touch then briefly then let them go so you're not overwhelmed).
Awesome message!
sería maravilloso que tuviera subtítulos en español. El tema es tan interesante y somos tantos los que hablamos el español

Sounds true, please use a high pass filter on her mic to reduce the low end bumps.
@flyinghotwing That is what you felt led to post? Incredible.
self observ. becomes insight.
the mind, most definitely, IS totality.

Seems like this could have been filmed today

Brad Hastreiter first time I see her, what is she repeating so much? what is the core of her teaching?
+penkata drums figure it our dear drums. im not google

P Bon Nope. Dont agree.
P Bon if you had to buy just one book of hers what wd it be?
This is an amazing talk. Does anyone know what the bells are from at the beginning and end of this talk are from?
Wind Chimes...
Yin Yang Not wind chimes. Tibetan singing (metal) bowls. I was there.

Wait. So if one is afraid and stressed out from a job they have been going to for 6 years, one should keep going?
No. Of course not. First you recognize the effect the job is having on your life. And then you make a decision about what steps to take. Definitely find another job if you can.
Thank you Frank. :) That is what i thought.

spinning on the edge of the void, hurling through nothingness...o halp me!
