Pema Chödrön’s birthday: celebrate with some of her best from Shambhala Sun

It’s Pema Chödrön’s birthday — celebrate with some of her best from Shambhala Sun

BY LION'S ROAR STAFF | JULY 14, 2015

Here’s reason to celebrate: the American Buddhist nun (and frequent Shambhala Sun contributor!) Pema Chödrön turns 79 today.

Born Deirdre Blomfield-Brown in 1936 — read her life story, “Becoming Pema” — she’s now beloved as a teacher to us all. So what better way to honor her than to make a little time and absorb some of her wisdom? Here’s a selection of some of Pema’s classic Sunarticles to get you started. (Or, you can always browse our special “Teacher Spotlight” page here on Lion’s Roar.) And don’t miss the September 2015Shambhala Sun magazine, featuring a conversation with Pema and k.d. lang, as well as “What Is the Most Important Teaching?”, a new teaching by Pema.

Select Pema teachings:

• What to Do When the Going Gets Rough — Pema Chödrön on four ways to hold our minds steady and hearts open when facing difficult people or circumstances.
• You Can Do It! — Make your vow to help others real with this meditation teaching from Pema Chödrön.
• The Natural Warmth of the Heart — In the difficulties of your life, says Pema Chödrön, you will discover your natural love and warmth.
• Turn Your Thinking Upside-Down — We base our lives on seeking happiness and avoiding suffering, but the best thing we can do for ourselves—and for the planet—is to turn this whole way of thinking upside down. Pema Chödrön shows us Buddhism’s radical side.
• Stay With the Soft Spot of Bodhichitta — Pema Chödrön on how to awaken bodhichitta—enlightened heart and mind—the essence of all Buddhist practice.
• Looking Into Laziness — Rather than feeling discouraged by laziness, Pema tells us, we could get to know laziness profoundly. This very moment of laziness becomes our personal teacher.
• How We Get Hooked and How We Get Unhooked — Shenpa, Pema teaches us, is the urge, the hook, that triggers our habitual tendency to close down. We get hooked in that moment of tightening when we reach for relief. To get unhooked we begin by recognizing that moment of unease and learn to relax in that moment.

You’ll find plenty more teachings from Pema here. And to stay up-to-date with Pema’s activities — and share a birthday wish with her — follow the Pema Chödrön Foundation on Twitter. You might also visit the PCF online.

A BUDDHIST WEDDING Celebrated Within the Western Tradition

A BUDDHIST WEDDING
Celebrated Within the Western Tradition

A Service
Compiled and Edited from diverse sources by
James Ishmael Ford
With the assistance of Tetsugan Zummach & Dosho Port

(Some years ago I composed a Wedding Service for Buddhists in the West. The following service includes a number of corrections and expansions from that earlier document suggested by the Zen priests Tetsugan Zummach & Dosho Port, and used in their 2015 wedding. While “bride” and “groom” are used in the text, this service is easily adaptable to same gender weddings. It is my sincere hope that this service be of use both to the Western Buddhist convert community seeking ways to honor their Buddhism, and for Buddhist immigrants looking for ways to adapt the traditions of the West to our shared faith.
