Additional quotes by Pema Chödrön

IN practicing meditation, we’re not trying to live up to some kind of ideal — quite the opposite.

you’re never going to get your act together, fully, completely.

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.
