Pema Chödron Zitate

Pema Chödrön ist buddhistische Nonne und Schriftstellerin. Sie war Schülerin von Chögyam Trungpa, der sie 1986 zur Leiterin von Gampo Abbey, einem tibetischen Kloster der Karma-Kagyü-Linie des Vajrayana auf der kanadischen Kap-Breton-Insel, ernannte. Damit war sie die erste Amerikanerin, die zur Leiterin eines tibetisch-buddhistischen Klosters ernannt wurde.

Pema Chödrön leitet Kurse, Seminare und Retreats in Europa, Australien und den Vereinigten Staaten. In ihren Büchern versucht sie zumeist anhand von Alltagssituationen die buddhistische Lehre darzustellen. Dabei orientiert sie sich maßgeblich an Atishas „Losungen zur Geistesschulung“ .

Pema Chödrön hat zwei Kinder und drei Enkelkinder. Wikipedia
