Publisher's Summary

What if you could cultivate the mind of a bodhisattva -- one who has dedicated one's life to the benefit of others? According to Pema Chödrön, best-selling author and American-born Buddhist nun, you can. On Bodhisattva Mind, she examines sheshin, or "guarding alertness", and the other qualities of mind we need to develop on the path to enlightenment. "We all have a consciousness that knows what helps and what causes harm," says Ani Pema. "With this same ability, we can 'tame our minds', and extricate ourselves from suffering."

A practicum of insights and meditations from this cherished teacher, Bodhisattva Mind shows us how to connect with the spacious, clear, unbiased nature of our minds and experience the joy of complete freedom.

A Favourite for Re-Reading & Contemplating

Pema Chodron was the first Teacher who remodelled my life. Of course - still working on this Dharma repeatedly resonates anew each listen.

May Pema Chodron live a long, happy and healthy life - to continue her writings and teachings so to illuminate and transend the root of suffering in all sentient beings. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
