Beloved Buddhist teacher and best-selling author Pema Ch dr n offers an inside look at the teachings that transformed her life. In this commentary on The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation by Ch gyam Trungpa, Pema reflects on the "crazy wisdom" that shaped her path. "When I first encountered the Buddhist teachings in the early 1970s, there were not many teachers who taught in a voice that Western students could connect with in a personal way. It was amazing to read Ch gyam Trungpa Rinpoche's book The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation. It didn't feel like Buddhist philosophy at all. It felt like advice for everyday life and neurosis--particularly everyday neurosis, which there was plenty of," says Pema Ch dr n in the introduction to Another Kind of Freedom. In this detailed commentary, Pema takes us section by section through one of the formative books that changed her life, sharing stories, insights, and personal reflections on what the teachings meant to her then and now. With her signature warmth, clarity, and humor, she brings Ch gyam Trungpa's teachings to life, making them accessible for modern readers navigating their own challenges. She explains how the practical wisdom of Buddhism can help us: Face life's messiness with courage Embrace reality as it is Let go of fantasies of perfection Work with our emotions rather than suppressing them Experience true freedom If you love Pema's books, you'll recognize familiar concepts presented in a fresh way. And if you're new to Buddhism, Another Kind of Freedom offers a powerful introduction to Buddhist philosophy through the wisdom of two of the most influential teachers of the last century. Join Pema on this deeply personal journey--one that has inspired millions--as she shares heartfelt guidance on facing life's challenges with open-hearted courage and discovering the beauty of being fully present, no matter how chaotic the world may be.

Kulkemalla pelkojamme kohti avaamme sydämemme lempeydelle ja ilolle. Meillä on aina vaihtoehto: voimme antaa elämän olosuhteiden joko kovettaa tai pehmentää meidät. Buddhalaisnunna Pema Chödrön opastaa teoksessaan Pelosta vapauteen, miten valitsemme lempeyden. Hän esittelee tiibetinbuddhalaisuudesta ammentavia harjoituksia, joiden avulla meidän on helpompi kohdata kaikki se, mitä elämä tuo tiellemme. Kun hyväksymme olosuhteemme sellaisina kuin ne ovat, pystymme rentoutumaan muutosten keskellä ja vapautumaan peloistamme. Monet käyttäytymismallimme perustuvat pelkoon. Kohtaamamme vaikeudet voivat tehdä meistä vihaisia ja pelokkaita, mutta saamalla yhteyden perushyvyyteemme muutumme myötätuntoisemmiksi ja lempeämmiksi itseämme ja toisia kohtaan. Opimme olemaan läsnä tässä hetkessä, ja elämästä tulee rennompaa ja nautinnollisempaa. Elämäämme alkaa virrata lisää iloa, joustavuutta ja rohkeutta. Pema Chödrön on amerikkalainen buddhalaisnunna ja yksi Chögyam Trungpan, kuuluisan tiibetiläisen laman, tärkeimpiä oppilaita. Hänen teoksistaan on aiemmin suomennettu Viisaus kaaoksen keskellä (Viisas Elämä 2021).

Haluatko olla aidosti onnellinen? Sydämesi avautuu onnelle, kun päätät antautua elämän jatkuvalle muutokselle ja kohdata vaikeudet ja kaaoksen rohkeasti ja tyynesti. Pema Chödrön neuvoo kirjassaan Viisaus kaaoksen keskellä: Sydämen neuvoja vaikeina aikoina, miten saavutamme aidon onnen. Opimme suhtautumaan uudella tavalla vaikeuksiin ja uskallamme kohdata oman tuskamme ja pelkomme. Perinteiseen buddhalaiseen viisauteen pohjautuvat neuvot auttavat meitä löytämään myötätuntoa ja rohkeutta. Pema Chödrönin lempeät ja viisaat sanat tarjoavat tien kärsimyksen ja negatiivisten käyttäytymismalliemme pysyvään muutokseen. Harjoitusten avulla opimme suhtautumaan kaoottisiin tilanteisiin rennosti ja kärsivällisesti. Kirjan 20-vuotisjuhlapainokseen on lisätty kirjailijan uudet jälkisanat, jotka tuovat toivoa erilaisten mullistusten täyttämään maailmaamme.

An introductory guide to cultivating patience and opening your heart to difficult circumstances from leading Buddhist teacher, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. Patience is one of the most important qualities we can develop, as it represents our mind's ability to work positively with anything that bothers us, including anger, loss, jealousy, and helplessness. We are consistently confronted with situations or outcomes we weren't expecting or didn't want, and our default response is to reject what happened with feelings of mild irritation, inward complaining, self-aggression, or seething resentment. Patience is an antidote to all these forms of rejection. Those who have mastered patience have learned to welcome all challenging situations, people, and emotions as opportunities to open their hearts rather than close them. Based on the teachings of the sixth chapter of Shantideva's The Way of the Bodhisattva, Peaceful Heart explores how Buddhist teachings on patience can help you work with whatever disturbances arise in your life and in your mind. Dzigar Kongtrul provides practices and examples throughout the book to challenge readers on the path to developing a more patient heart.

När vi är mitt uppe i en stor kris – klimatet, en pandemi eller våldet i våra samhällen – finns risken att vi förlorar hoppet, förtvivlar eller vänder oss bort. Men när det känns som att världen står i brand behövs optimismen mer än någonsin, menar Pema Chödrön i ”Välkomna det ovälkomna”. Passivitet och modlöshet ger ingen hjälp. Inte heller polarisering eller ilska. Chödröns budskap är att vi kan lära oss att lita på vår förmåga till vishet, omsorg och medkänsla, istället för att tappa modet. Hemligheten är paradoxalt nog att öppna sig inför det svåra som sker och välkomna det vi egentligen vill slippa. När vi gör det på Chödröns sätt, och med övningarna i hennes bok, får vi kontakt med vår inre godhet, vishet och styrka. Då kan vi leva helhjärtat även i en förkrossad värld. Hur vi agerar nu kommer att avgöra åt vilket håll världen rör sig. Pema Chödrön lär oss lita på vår grundläggande godhet och ger oss nycklar till både vårt personliga välbefinnande och ett starkare samhälle – nu och i framtiden.

Vi kan reagera med rädsla eller välja att titta bort och blunda för det som sker. Eller så kan vi handla utifrån vårt öppna och i grunden goda sinne. Pema Chödrön betonar att vårt sätt att reagera kommer att avgöra åt vilket håll världen rör sig. Hon visar hur vi kan få utvecklingen att präglas av vishet, omsorg och medkänsla, och ger oss nycklar till både vårt personliga välbefinnande och ett starkare samhälle. Det är ett budskap som förmedlar ett djupt hopp.
