Usually - my daily offerings are a simple quote - but today - I decided to read you an essay by one of my favorite Buddhist Teachers, Pema Chodron. Chodron is an ordained Buddhist Nun - and this reading is from her book "The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times" that was featured on the "Dog-Eared Page" in the April 2010 SUN Magazine. In the article Chodron lays out the three basic principal characteristics of human existence: impermanance, egolessness and suffering/dissatisfaction.

This is a favorite piece - and I'm very happy to share it with you. The video runs a little over ten minutes - because I tried to read it slowly - so you could understand me.
