What do a Jesuit priest and a Buddhist nun have in common? It may sound like the opening to a joke, but it’s actually the question that initiated an extraordinary spiritual collaboration.

Learn to free yourself from destructive habits and live a life of courage and compassion with these heart-to-heart teachings from "one of the world's wisest women" (O, the Oprah Magazine).

Pema Chodron's perennially helpful guide to transforming the pains and difficulties in our lives into opportunities for genuine joy and personal growth

Inspiring teachings on what each of us can do to promote peace from the inside out.

 Do you want to be a more compassionate person, confident and unafraid to love yourself and the world around you unconditionally, but aren’t sure how? We often look far and wide for guidance to become better people, as though the answers were somewhere out there.

This newly designed reissue of Pema Chodron’s Always Maintain a Joyful Mind features everyday inspiration drawn from the classic Buddhist practice of lojong and instructive commentaries by Pema for making the lojong teachings a practical part of everyday life.
