When Things Fall Apart, Pema Chödrön

Pema Chödrön is one of my favorite Buddhist teachers. Her book, "When Things Fall Apart," teaches us how moving toward painful situations in our lives and becoming more intimate with them, can open up our hearts and allow for more understanding and healing. I often read this book when I need words of inspiration.

She has been interviewed many times by Oprah! This is a short clip about one of her greatest lessons in life. You might be surprised at her answer!
