Pema Ch&amp;ouml;dr&amp;ouml;n da un consejo compasivo y radical extra&amp;iacute;do de la sabidur&amp;iacute;a budista para cuando todo se derrumba en nuestras vidas, consejo que va a contrapelo de nuestras costumbres y expectativas habituales. S&amp;oacute;lo hay una manera de encarar el sufrimiento que proporcione beneficio duradero, nos ense&amp;ntilde;a Pema: ir hacia las situaciones dolorosas con cordialidad y curiosidad, relaj&amp;aacute;ndonos en la insubstancialidad fundamental de toda nuestra situaci&amp;oacute;n. Es ah&amp;iacute;, en medio del caos, que podemos descubrir la verdad y el amor que son indestructibles.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;El libro incluye:   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Modos de usar las emociones dolorosas para cultivar la sabidur&amp;iacute;a, la compasi&amp;oacute;n y la valent&amp;iacute;a   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; M&amp;eacute;todos de comunicaci&amp;oacute;n que llevan a una verdadera apertura hacia los dem&amp;aacute;s y a una verdadera cercan&amp;iacute;a   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Pr&amp;aacute;cticas para revertir patrones negativos habituales   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; T&amp;eacute;cnicas para trabajar con situaciones ca&amp;oacute;ticas   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Herramientas para cultivar una acci&amp;oacute;n social en&amp;eacute;rgica y compasiva   &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a fundamental opportunity for happiness right within our reach, yet we usually miss it&amp;mdash;ironically while we are caught up in attempts to escape pain and suffering. Drawn from traditional Buddhist wisdom, Pema Ch&amp;ouml;dr&amp;ouml;n&amp;rsquo;s radical and compassionate advice for what to do when things fall apart in our lives goes against the grain of our usual habits and expectations. There is only one approach to suffering that is of lasting benefit, Pema teaches, and that approach involves moving toward painful situations with friendliness and curiosity, relaxing into the essential groundlessness of our entire situation. It is there, in the midst of chaos, that we can discover the truth and love that are indestructible.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Included in the book are:   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ways to use painful emotions to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and courage   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Methods of communicating that lead to openness and true intimacy with others   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Practices for reversing negative habitual patterns   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Techniques for working with chaotic situations   &lt;br&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Tools for cultivating compassionate, energetic social action&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

This book offers practical advice on how to cultivate love, how to deepen it, and how to let it flower in our lives.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We may feel great love for our partners, our children, and our friends, but how do we put that love into action so that others are nurtured by it? And what about loving ourselves? How can we develop greater self-acceptance and self-compassion? Meditation teacher Moh Hardin offers key insights and practices from the Buddhist tradition for deepening our relationships and finding true fulfillment in our lives.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Topics include:  &lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Simple Buddhist practices for awakening the heart   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;How and why to become your own best friend   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Finding freedom from destructive patterns in relationships   &lt;br&gt;    &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Listening and speaking with love    &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Loving and letting go &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hardin ultimately introduces the inspiring idea of becoming a &quot;bodhisattva warrior,&quot; a person who commits to living open-heartedly and working to ease the suffering of the world. Written with unusual clarity, simplicity, and warmth, this little book contains a wealth of wisdom and guidance that could change your life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

But too often being in an intimate relationship means we have to compromise&amp;mdash;or lose&amp;mdash;vital aspects of ourselves.

Drawing from case examples and personal experiences, Rubin explains how to remove these obstacles to nurture empathy and mutual respect.

For centuries, Tibetans have used fifty-nine powerful mind-training slogans as a way to transform life&amp;rsquo;s ordinary situations into opportunities for awakening. In this seven-CD program, Pema Ch&amp;ouml;dr&amp;ouml;n presents her definitive audio teachings on lojong. She offers an overview of the practice and goes on to provide inspiring commentary on the slogans while paying special attention to how to apply them on the spot in our daily lives. The CDs include: &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Practical commentary to enhance our understanding of the lojong slogans &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Seven writing and reflection exercises to help us engage deeply with the slogans &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Meditation instructions to help us relax, let go, and uncover our uncaught-up mind &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;On-the-spot methods to deepen our bodhichitta, our compassion for all beings &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Question-and-answer sessions that address some of the most common issues that arise in lojong practice &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Two guided meditations on tonglen&lt;i&gt;&amp;mdash;&lt;/i&gt;a compassion practice based on the understanding that the very thing that triggers suffering can become the foundation of happiness&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

John Francis's real and compelling prose forms a tapestry of questions and answers woven from interviews, stories, personal experience, science, and the power of silence through history, including practice by Native American, Hindu, and Buddhist cultures. Through their time-honored traditions and his own experience of communicating silently for 17 years, Francis's practical exercises lay the groundwork for the reader to build constructive silence into everyday life: to learn more about oneself, to set goals and accomplish dreams, to build strong relationships, and to appreciate and be a steward of the Earth. With its amazing human interest element and first-person expertise, this book is energizing and universally instructive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

She embraces Zen Buddhism and then a very bare-bones spirituality that has no form. Bare-Bones Meditation reveals the inner process of the mind in a new way, and Tollifson's account is beautifully written--intense and from the heart.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
