Additional quotes by Pema Chödrön

Transformation occurs only when we remember, breath by breath, year after year, to move toward our emotional distress without condemning or justifying our experience.

LIFE is a good teacher and a good friend.

Awakening is not a process of building ourselves up but a process of letting go. It’s a process of relaxing in the middle — the paradoxical, ambiguous middle, full of potential, full of new ways of thinking and seeing — with absolutely no money-back guarantee of what will happen next.

The root of suffering is resisting the certainty that no matter what the circumstances, uncertainty is all we truly have. - Pema Chödrön
