Sinopsis
The revered Buddhist teacher and author of When Things Fall Apart presents the lojong teachings—pithy slogans for daily contemplation—and the ways in which they can enrich our lives
Welcome compassion and fearlessness as your guide, and you’ll live wisely and effectively in good times and bad. But that’s easier said than done. In The Compassion Book, Pema Chödrön introduces a powerful, transformative method to nurture these qualities using a practice called lojong, which has been a primary focus of her teachings and personal practice for many years. For centuries, Tibetan Buddhists have relied on these teachings to awaken the deep goodness that lies within us.
The lojong teachings include fifty-nine pithy slogans for daily contemplation, such as “Always maintain only a joyful mind,” “Don’t be swayed by external circumstances,” “Don’t try to be the fastest,” and “Be grateful to everyone.” This book presents each of these slogans and includes Pema’s clear, succinct guidance on how to understand them—and how they can enrich our lives. It also features a forty-five-minute downloadable audio program entitled “Opening the Heart,” in which Pema offers in-depth instruction on tonglen meditation, a powerful practice that anyone can undertake to awaken compassion for oneself and others.

La Humanidad en crisis
La Supraconciencia es la oportunidad para el cambio
Una invitación a plantearnos la vida que llevamos.
¿Por qué cuando aparentemente tenemos tanto nos sentimos tan vacíos? ¿Qué nos lleva a la soledad justamente cuando vivimos en un mundo hiperconectado? ¿Qué pasa cuando crecemos sin valores espirituales? ¿Por qué el suicidio es la causa número uno de muerte entre los jóvenes? Vivimos más años que nunca, pero cada vez más personas —especialmente jóvenes— sienten que la vida carece de sentido.
