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 best-selling 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.

Listened to it on audible several times. Each time I gained a better insight. It made me feel excited about living an expansive and joyous life and also helped me recognize when I limit and close myself to this joy.

So useful and applicable in my life. Love her teachings.

I always get so much out of Pema's teachings and almost go into a trance listening to her voice. I am always changed by her.

Always changed by Pema

Ani Pema explains carefully and thoroughly how and why to do tong len, compassion exercises, for ourselves and our friends and not-so-friends. As always, her teaching is clear, full of real world examples and feels appropriate for daily life. Another gem.

One of Ani Pema's best! She offers many practical and employable teachings. Especially meaningful is her talk on compassion.
