Pema Chödrön "From Fear to Fearlessness"
From Fear to Fearlessness brings us into the company of beloved teacher Pema Chödrön to discover and cultivate maitri (loving-kindness), compassion, joy, and equanimity.
Where will we look when we are afraid? How do we find strength? In what can we place our trust? According to Tibetan Buddhism, there are four noble aspirations known as The Four Great Catalysts of Awakening to cultivate strength and openness in any situation. From Fear to Fearlessness brings us into the company of beloved teacher Pema Chödrön to discover and cultivate these four immeasurables: maitri (loving-kindness), compassion, joy, and equanimity. They are our greatest antidote to fear, teaches Ani Pema. By practicing them, we begin to experience a supreme steadfastness and peace independent of conditions.

"Arriving at 9:45 - 15 minutes before the talk and sitting
quietly helps to calm your mind and body. This will increase your ability
to hear the speaker and to listen more deeply. Most importantly whenever you
arrive find a comfortable spot to sit and relax for the dharma talk. If
you are delayed from arriving for any reason, you can attend even after the
talk has started. Half a bowl of soup is better than none. Thank you all
for your kind attention" ~ Dean
