Taking the Leap

Pema Chödrön

Perhaps you’ve seen those paintings of the wrathful deities of Vajrayana Buddhism. They are a manifestation of fierce compassion, because sometimes that’s what we need. People rightly love the American Buddhist nun and teacher Pema Chödrön for her warmth and gentleness, but I think of her as one of those fiercely compassionate deities. Her message is loving but tough: we can’t hide, we can’t fool ourselves, and all our tricks only make things worse. It’s called truth. She’s faced it herself, and we need to, too.
