What would happen if we looked with fresh eyes at the struggles and “impossible situations” that we face every day\u2014and found there four gifts that changed everything?<\/p>\n

For decades, Pema Ch\u00f6dr\u00f6n<\/a> has brought clarity and heart to the core teachings of the Buddha, helping to make them relevant and useful in our everyday lives. With The Truth of Our Existence<\/em><\/a>, she immerses us in one of Buddhism\u2019s essential distillations of written wisdom known as The Four Marks of Existence. These marks that shape all of us, teaches Pema<\/a>, are like forgotten gifts waiting to be found. And while they may ring familiar to some, they hold vast layers of often unrealized understanding to both new and seasoned ears alike.<\/p>\n

Please enjoy a free video teaching from Pema on Embracing Intensity<\/em><\/a>, a core teaching how we can turn towards even the most difficult experiences in our lives\u2014and how these experiences can serve as the doorway to our awakening.<\/p>\n
