商品簡介
The Tibetan Buddhist lessons for the fulfilled life known as “The Four Limitless Ones” are meant to guide us like an arrow along the soaring arc of unconditional love. As a newly ordained nun decades ago, Pema Chodron endeared a generation of Westerners with her teachings on this step-by-step, fourfold path of the heart. Now, with Awakening Love, her original students and new ones alike are in for a treat. This five-day meditation series, recently recorded at Gampo Abbey, brings listeners into the presence of Pema Chodron as she revisits the Four Immeasurables or Limitless Ones: Lovingkindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity. Each are explored here in depth, and informed by Ani Pema’s own lifetime of challenges and insights as a mother, grandmother, teacher, and guide. Perhaps more than any other author, Pema Chodron has inspired popular audiences with the teachings of Tibetan spirituality by making its wisdom lucid, relevant, and useful in the real world. Awakening Love brings listeners her unique blend of kitchen-table common sense, scholarship, and empathy—to help us start where we are, trust in the resilience of the “undefended heart,” and enter the eternal stream of universal love.
作者簡介
Ani Pema Chodron was born Deirdre Blomfield-Brown in 1936, in New York City. She attended Miss Porter's School in Connecticut and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. She taught as an elementary school teacher for many years in both New Mexico and California. Pema has two children and three grandchildren.
While in her mid-thirties, Ani Pema traveled to the French Alps and encountered Lama Chime Rinpoche, with whom she studied for several years. She became a novice nun in 1974 while studying with Lama Chime in London. His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa came to Scotland at that time, and Ani Pema received her ordination from him.
Pema first met her root guru, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, in 1972. Lama Chime encouraged her to work with Rinpoche, and it was with him that she ultimately made her most profound connection, studying with him from 1974 until his death in 1987. At the request of the Sixteenth Karmapa, she received the full bikshuni ordination in the Chinese lineage of Buddhism in 1981 in Hong Kong.
Ani Pema served as the director of Karma Dzong in Boulder, Colorado until moving in 1984 to rural Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to be the director of Gampo Abbey. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche gave her explicit instructions on establishing this monastery for western monks and nuns.
Ani Pema currently teaches in the United States and Canada and plans for an increased amount of time in solitary retreat under the guidance of Venerable Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. She is also a student of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, the oldest son and lineage holder of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
Ani Pema is interested in helping establish Tibetan Buddhist monasticism in the West, as well as continuing her work with western Buddhists of all traditions, sharing ideas and teachings. Her non-profit, The Pema Chodron Foundation, was set up to assist in this purpose.
She has written several books: The Wisdom of No Escape, Start Where You Are,When Things Fall Apart, The Places that Scare You, No Time To Lose,Practicing Peace in Times of War, How to Meditate, and Living Beautifully. All are available from Shambhala Publications and Sounds True.
