For more than 800 years, Tibetan Buddhists have used the practice of lojong, or mind training, to transform difficulties into insights. Lojong training is grounded in a special meditation technique and complemented by 59 written maxims—a treasury of practical wisdom that inspires everyday awareness. With the Awakening Compassion app, Pema Chödrön, one of the Western world’s best-known lojong teachers and practitioners, shows you how your own painful emotions can be stepping stones to wisdom, compassion, and fearlessness. Use this app to learn how to make friends with the difficult parts of your life experience, and discover how to use your natural courage and honesty to transform even the most demanding of situations.
