Pema saved my spirit and my life, actually. I am 59 years old. In the last two years my husband of twenty years fell in love with someone else (and I left him for my survival). I also lost my job as a professor after 17 years. Thus, I've lost two identities. Also during these two years, I had two major operations. ...My best friend, Joan Debow, gave me Pema's book, "When Things Fall Apart." Because of Pema's writings, I found a freedom in the way I view and practice existence that I've never felt before. I now buy this book and give it to people I know, hoping they can perhaps find freedom from grasping and fixating, freedom from looking outside of themselves for relief from their human condition, which by definition involves an understanding that living is transitory and groundless. I seek now to become a warrior with a noble heart. Compassion is my "cow catcher" to the world even if I fail each day to practice it in all the circumstances in which I should.Read More
Delana Love you, Pema. Thank-you.
Kane i am forever greatful for such words of power, healing and understanding. There are so many times that I become unsure .. and your words lift me... in heights
An Glorieux I felt alone with my pain and sorrows this evening. Listening to Pema and reading all these wonderful people's posts make me realize once again our common experience of being human. I love you Pema....an interview in O magazine years ago brought me to the Path...it has changed my life. Though the shedding of habitual patterns brings a lot of pain at times, I am forever grateful for it.
Karyn Leigh Krause Beautiful tribute to a beautiful teacher and becon of being.
