Last updated October 31, 2026

By Pema Chödrön

Pema Chödrön works through The Way of the Bodhisattva, the eighth-century Buddhist poem by the Indian monk Shantideva, chapter by chapter. She explains the verses in plain language and connects them to the frustrations and fears of modern life. Her commentary covers patience, generosity, discipline, mindfulness and the aspiration to help others, and suggests practices readers can use to work with their own minds and act with more courage and compassion.
