Don't we just love it when we get wealth, pleasure, praise, and a good reputation? Of course, let's not talk about loss, discomfort, criticism, and a bad reputation. Join Ven. Thubten Chodron for a powerful pith teaching that gets us to look squarely at the attachment and aversion to the eight worldly concerns that keep us riding the emotional rollercoaster of cyclic existence.
Venerable Thubten Chodron is an author,
teacher, and the founder and abbess of Sravasti Abbey, one
of the first Tibetan Buddhist training monasteries for
Western nuns and monks in the US. She graduated from UCLA,
and did graduate work in education at USC. Ordained as a
Tibetan Buddhist nun in 1977, she has studied extensively
with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tsenshab Serkong
Rinpoche, and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. She received full
ordination as a bhikshuni in 1986.
Venerable Chodron teaches worldwide and is known for her
warm, practical, and humorous explanations of how to apply
Buddhist teachings in daily life. She is also involved in
prison outreach and interfaith dialogue. She has published
many books on Buddhist philosophy and meditation, and is
currently assisting His Holiness the Dalai Lama in the
writing and publication of The Library of Wisdom and
Compassion, a multi-volume series of teachings on the
Buddhist path. Visit thubtenchodron.org for a media
library of her teachings, and sravastiabbey.org to learn
