ALWAYS MAINTAIN A JOYFUL MIND And Other Lojong Teachings on Awakening Compassion and Fearlessness

This recording of a seminar by Pema Chödrön is a brief introduction to a set of Tibetan pith teachings referred to as lojong. The seminar, Opening the Heart, introduces the use of lojong as a basis for meditation and a tool for awakening compassion within oneself as one deals with daily challenges. Chödrön's teaching is clear and articulate. There is a small amount of audience feedback in the background, which is a reminder that this is not a studio recording despite the clear sound quality. The CD ends with a meditation led by Chödrön. The program is accompanied a book that contains the 59 pith slogans of lojong, each with a brief commentary.
