The Truth of Our Existence: Four Teachings from the Buddha to Illuminate Your Life

What would happen if we looked with fresh eyes at the struggles and “impossible situations” that we face every day-and found there four truths that changed everything? For decades, Pema Chödrön has brought clarity and heart to the core teachings of the Buddha, helping to make them relevant and useful in our everyday lives. With The Truth of Our Existence, she immerses listeners in one of Buddhism’s essential distillations of written wisdom known as The Four Marks of Existence.These marks that shape all of us, teaches Pema Chödrön, are like forgotten gifts waiting to be found. And while they may ring familiar to some, they hold vast layers of often-unrealized understanding to both new and seasoned ears alike. In this six-session learning program, Pema Chödrön illuminates for us:

. The truth of the impermanence of all phenomena
. The truth of egolessness-the insight that we do not exist as separate, individual beings
. The truth of the existence of suffering
. The truth of peace-that liberation or nirvana is available when we shed the veils of misunderstanding created by the first three marks
. How to use the wisdom of this profound sutra to touch the open and abundant expanse in which we truly dwell

With The Truth of Our Existence, Pema Chödrön invites us to see that there is, in reality, “no score to settle,” and that we can step out of confusion, frustration, and fear-and into in the open space of heartful awareness.

Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings

JESUS & BUDDHA
THE PARALLEL SAYINGS

This remarkable collection reveals how Jesus and Buddha—whether talking about love, wisdom, or materialism—were guiding along the same path. Jesus & Buddha also delves into the mystery surrounding their strikingly similar teachings and presents over one hundred examples from each.

As a Christian, I grew up with Jesus and have lived with him all my life. I have not lived with the Buddha. Similarly my work on this book was from the vantage point of a Jesus scholar. But my experience has led me to the conclusion that their teachings about ‘the way’ are virtually identical and that together they are the two most remarkable religious figures who ever lived.”
—Marcus Borg
You hold in your hand a remarkable and beautiful book. Jesus and Buddha are now meeting in an encounter of the spirit. When we listen deeply to their words we find that in many ways, they speak with one heart. If we could enact even one verse from these teachings, it would have the power to illuminate our hearts, free us from confusion and transform our lives.”
