Where will we look when we are afraid? How do we find strength? In what can we place our trust? According to Tibetan Buddhism, there are four noble aspirations, known as the Four Great Catalysts of Awakening, which we can call on to cultivate strength and openness in any situation.
From Fear to Fearlessness brings us into the company of beloved teacher Pema Chödrön to discover and cultivate these four immeasurables: maitri (loving-kindness), compassion, joy, and equanimity. They are our greatest antidote to fear, teaches Ani Pema. By practicing them, we begin to experience a supreme steadfastness and peace independent of conditions.
Join the bestselling author of When Things Fall Apart to learn:

  • How self-acceptance overcomes the judging mind
  • Using honesty as a conduit to the parts of ourselves that need kindness and love the most
  • Maitri: the meditation practice that multiplies love, and more
    The definition of an enlightened being is one who is completely fearless, teaches Pema Chödrön. With guided meditations, rare heart teachings, and Ani Pema's trademark humor, here is a timeless path From Fear to Fearlessness.
    Note: Excerpted from the full-length audio course The Noble Heart.

        Essentially a review of familiar spiritual and metaphysical concepts, Chodron's lecture is a useful guide for beginners or a refresher course for those already "on the path." While it seems this material would have been more effective as a studio recording, rather than a meandering live lecture, Chodron knows her way around the lessons of karma, acceptance, and letting go. A more focused approach would benefit this recording, but if you're a fan of Chodron, you'll enjoy getting a sense of her personality and delivery. Production values are mediocre, as are those of most live lectures, a phenomenon that begs the Zen-like question: Why record this? D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

        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.
