| Pema spent the winter months teaching at Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia. She has been fortunate to have remained safe and healthy throughout the pandemic, and she continues to hope the same for each of you.
In May, Pema was joined by Tim Olmsted to present her final teachings (after nearly 25 years!) at Omega Institute. The topic was tonglen meditation, or “taking and giving”. Pema shared her wisdom on how to use the most difficult parts of our lives as stepping stones to open up and connect with the world.
Pema will be giving an online talk at Mangala Shri Bhuti on July 17th along with her teacher, Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche. The talk will be available for viewing through August 17th.
Information and Registration is available here. |

Agnes Callard: A Philosophy of Change
“We can all think back to a time when we were substantially different people, value wise, from the people we are now. There was a time when we were not even aware of the existence of some of the people, activity, institutions and ideology that now figure so centrally in our lives. Maybe we had different political views or no political views at all. Maybe we used to be religious or used not to be. Maybe we now feel deep ties to a place that is spatially, culturally, and linguistically far from where we grew up. Maybe we find our interests and concerns resembling those of our parents more than we ever thought they would. We care about many things that we once did not care about. How did that change come about?” Agnes Callard is a professor of philosophy and the author of ‘Aspiration: The Agency of Becoming,” a profound investigation into how and why we change. In this interview she shares her thoughts on self-creation and the philosophy of transformation. { read more }
