As we live, so we die

Pema Chödrön, an American Buddhist nun, is one of the most influential figures in the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. A student of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Pema is known for her ability to translate profound teachings into clear messages applicable to everyday life. Her books, such as When it all comes crashing down, offer tools for facing uncertainty, suffering, and change with compassion and courage. Through her work as a teacher at Gampo Abbey, a monastery in Canada, she inspires thousands to cultivate mindfulness and openness to the present moment as a path to inner peace.
