FROM FEAR TO FEARLESSNESS Teachings on the Four Great Catalysts of Awakening

Pema Chodron is an American Buddhist nun, and her American sensibilities help temper this recording with wit, irreverence, and a homey familiarity. Chodron digs slowly and methodically to the core of our inner fears and trepidations, helping us along with guided meditations and easy-to-implement techniques. Never lacking humor and humility, the fearless Pema might be the local potter or craftsman sharing a cup of herbal tea with us as she teaches us the Four Noble Aspirations of Tibetan Buddhism--loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
