Recently, thanks to Shambhala Publications and our friend Ivan Bercholz, we had the chance to ask Pema Chodron, the wonderful Buddhist teacher I’ve been lucky enough to know all my life, a brief question. It was Willa and Kelsey’s first time meeting Pema!

Kelsey preferred that I ask the question but next time I bet she’ll do so..!

It was a pleasure and an honor and helpful in an earthy way. Dharma is always surprising in how it rings true and surprises my thinking mind.

{Editor’s Note: Please take a moment to watch the video. Seeing the conversation “in-person” is sweet, and charming, and heart-warming. But, if you can’t—we’ve got you covered. It’s on Elephant’s Mindful Life Podcast as well!}
