Found Pema through her mini books offered while I was in prison. Buddhism kept me sane.

I came to this many times in my life, and it has guided me to face my suffering using it as a tool for healing. Yesterday, Tonglen meditation allowed me to process my pain and sorrow regarding Aaron Bushnell. Bless you Pema.

Pema is my superhero. Don’t know how I’d make it without her teaching. ❤️

Pema has a very healing voice. I hear her voice on KPFK radio. I love to hear her speak!

I can do tonglen for my mother and father, stepfather and stepmother. I can do it for others. It's amazing and it is the miracle. I am willing to change. I am willing to heal. I am willing to forgive and to transform their pain. ❤

Thank you so very much! I’ve been recently introduced to Tonglen, but needed more understanding; this was such a lovely explanation of using mothers … I’ve been engaged in a long process of “forgiving” my mother (who has already passed away many years ago) this example has made it so much more real and personal! 💖🙏📿

“You need to empty your mind, and relax each other muscle group until you feel like you are going to melt into the floor. Then you just let it all go. All the expectations, all the unneeded worry, all the things other people want for you but you don't want for yourself.”

I find Pema videos for calming and restorative.

I am in deep dark, the kind of dark that is terror. nowhere left to go, nothing left to do. in the end, it is only you and ego facing each other. what cannot be named.

It was a bit hard for me. My mother died 17 years ago. I still miss her so much!

Wonderful recording and…the ads do not align with the teaching. Please consider removing the ads from the middle of the video, as having them there does not align with the mission of sharing this video.

So incredibly lovely. I find it difficult to actually do the meditation because there is constant talking, with different suggestions, so it’s hard to focus on one thing
