Synopsis

Over the years, Pema Chödrön's books have offered an exciting new way of living: developing fearlessness, generosity, and compassion in all aspects of their lives. In No Time to Lose Pema invites listeners to venture further along the path of the "bodhisattva warrior," explaining in depth how we can awaken the softness of our hearts and develop true confidence amid the challenges of daily living. 

Pema reveals the traditional Buddhist teachings that guide her own life: those of The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara), a text written by the eighth-century sage Shantideva. This treasured Buddhist work is remarkably relevant for our times, describing the steps we can take to cultivate courage, caring, and joy—the keys to healing ourselves and our troubled world. Pema offers us a highly practical and engaging commentary on this essential text, explaining how its profound teachings can be applied to our daily lives.

I love Pema Chödrön's books. Dharma lessons not to be missed. I find Buddhism very how-to and helpful. So nuch wisdom for the cost of just one book. Everytime I pick it up off my night stand I am in just the right place, getting the right lesson I need at just the right time. I'm sure many people re......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on January 07, 2009

Chodron looks into the life of Shantideva. He was a monk that all the other monks made fun of because he seemed lazy, dirty and undisciplined. Well then he opened his mouth one day and then began writing scrolls upon scrolls about his teachings - go figure. Another Buddhist metaphor taking the serio......more
