Genuineness, tenderness, developing strength, unconditional friendship with the totality of one’s experience, and the genuine heart of sadness are the basis for developing the true strength of nonviolent warriorship.

 

Pema Chodron shares teachings inspired by the Book Smile at Fear, which was written by her teacher Chogyam Trungpa. She and her Assistant, Carolyn Rose Gimian also share practices their received from Trungpa Rinpoche for courageously meeting ourselves in the present moment. These videos are from Pema Chodron’s weekend retreat called “Smile at Fear”, given October 2009 at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY.

 

Pema Chodron is an American Buddhist nun in the lineage if Chogyam Trungpa.
