In her previous books, Pema Chödrön offered the compelling vision of becoming a "spiritual warrior"—cultivating compassion, courage, and wisdom under all circumstances. Her vision of enlightened living has resonated strongly with readers from many backgrounds, resulting in cumulative sales of more than a million copies. Here, she goes beyond introducing and inspiring readers to showing them exactly how they can each become a bodhisattva, or one who exemplifies kindness, caring, and fearlessness. In this audiobook, she presents the time-tested spiritual program that guides her own life. <i>No Time to Lose</i> is a commentary on the core Buddhist text <i>The Way of the Bodhisattva</i> (<i>Bodhicharyavatara</i>), written in the eighth century by the Indian Buddhist sage Shantideva. This text outlines a ten-stage path toward becoming a bodhisattva. Drawing on examples from everyday life, Pema's fresh and accessible commentary shows us how this timeless spiritual path is open and available to all of us. <br><br>10 CDs, unabridged.
