Pema Chödrön: Quieting the Mind

Teaching Buddhism? The first five minutes of this 2006 Bill Moyers interview with Pema Chödrön provides a good introduction to Buddhism as its practiced today. And we learn about an extraordinary “Bodhisattva warrior.”

According to the Moyers PBS site “Ani Pema Chödrön is an American Buddhist nun and author whose teachings and writings on meditation have helped make Buddhism accessible to a broad Western audience. She currently directs the Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia, Canada, the first Tibetan monastery in North America for Western monastics and lay practitioners.”
