Pema Chödrön

Forfatterbiografi

Pema Chödrön (født Deirdre Blomfield-Brown) er en amerikansk buddhistisk nonne og en af de mest læste kontemplative lærere i Vesten. Hun blev født i 1936 i New York City. Efter at hun i 1974 blev novicetilhænger i London, modtog hun i 1981 fuld bikshuni-vielse i Hongkong. Hendes virke er tæt knyttet til Kagyu- og Shambhala-traditionens formidling af tibetansk buddhisme i en vestlig kontekst. Som forfatter skriver Pema Chödrön bøger, der kombinerer meditation, etik og nærværende livsvisdom med det klassiske bodhisattva-idéal og lojong-praksis (mentale træningsslogans). Den bog, du har angivet (Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living; Shambhala), hører til hendes centrale bestsellers, og den udtrykker hendes grundtanke om medfølelse og forsoning med det, livet allerede er. Hun har også skrevet andre bredt læste titler, herunder The Wisdom of No Escape og When Things Fall Apart. Udgivelserne har fået stor international betydning ved at gøre buddhistiske indsigter tilgængelige for almindelige læsere uden at reducere dem til selvhjælp. Hun har desuden modtaget anerkendelse i buddhistiske kredse, bl.a. Global Bhikkhuni Award, som omtales for hendes indsats for at fremme og bevare dharma.
