It teaches our hearts to soften, reframes our attitude toward difficulty, and allows us to discover a wellspring of inner strength. In this recorded retreat, Pema Chödrön introduces the lojongteachings and explains how we can apply them to any situation in our life—because, as Pema says, "every moment is an opportunity for awakening." In addition, Pema also leads a guided tonglen meditation, a practice aimed at developing courage and cultivating compassion for ourselves and others.explains how we can apply them to the difficult moments of our lives. This Moment Is the Perfect Teacher also features a guided meditation on tonglen practice (“taking in and sending out”), which anyone can undertake to awaken compassion for themselves and others.
