How We Live Is How We Die
How We Live Is How We Die | Pema Chödrön
3 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Discover newfound freedom in life's ever-constant flow of endings and beginnings with the wise words of Pema Chödrön, beloved Buddhist nun and bestselling author of When Things Fall Apart As much as we might try to resist, endings happen in every moment--the end of a breath, the end of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life--learning to live with ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty, embracing new beginnings, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear. Poignant for readers of all ages, her teachings on the bardos--a Tibetan term referring to a state of transition, including what happens between this life and the next--reveal their power and relevance at each moment of our lives. She also offers practical methods for transforming life's most challenging emotions about change and uncertainty into a path of awakening and love. As she teaches, the more freedom we can find in our hearts and minds as we live this life, the more fearlessly we'll be able to confront death and what lies beyond. In all, Pema provides readers with a master course in living life fully and compassionately in the shadow of death and change.

Read for my friend's online Yoga, Books, & Brunch Club. Discussion was on Sunday. Pic is of my Brunch Tray all prepped.

I really enjoyed Chapter 4 about when things go horribly wrong. And how we react to it.

In the middle it bogged down. Became to woo woo for me and I skimmed a bit. Finished reading last chapters. But all in all I liked the basic message of How We Live Is How We Die.

Kimzey I love the festive holiday china!

This is a Hail Mary or should I say a hail Pema !My mother still ill , I‘m stressed & depressed every day . Plates up in the air , Pema usually calms my mind & kicks out the chaos & stills my monkey brain. Another reason perhaps to have too many books…there‘s one when you need it.

Becker I also love reading Pema Chodrin. You can dip into any of her books at any page and find something comforting and inspiring. 2y

Uh, I didn‘t know Pema Chödron has published a new book. I happened to fall into Boswell Book Company and saw it on the new releases shelf. Chödron‘s books, When Things Fall Apart & Living Beautifully: with Uncertainty and Change, are two of my go-to life manuals.
