A new two CD version, featuring highlights from the original six CD full-length version of the audio learning programme.Pema Chodron examines the question, What is the root of happiness? She guides the listener through effective meditations and practices to face their feelings with courage, patience, and compassion, dissolving the barriers to their hearts, and cultivating a sense of happiness.
At the root of everything is "basic goodness" - a Buddhist view that each of us is fundamentally awake and compassionate - yet we tend to look at ourselves from a place of "badness", explains Pema Chodron. We spend our lives in self-doubt and confusion, attempting to be perfect and get it right. But life is about being open to whatever might arise, including feelings of uneasiness as well as feelings of contentment and peace. In this retreat with Chodron she explains metta meditation for cultivating loving kindness.
