Pema Chodron quotes are among the most famous in the spiritual world. But the 2010 calendar "Awakening the Heart" produced by Amber Lotus Publishing brings new meaning to the American Buddhist nun's gentle words with vivid photographs.
The photographs that accompany the Pema Chodron quotes are stunning illustrations of the best of nature. The images rang from lowers amidst plant leaves to lush green hills to a bird glancing upwards at a nest. Each picture is vibrant and the details are as vivid might expect when gazing at such scenes in person.
The 2010 calendar itself marks a number of holidays that are much more diverse than those applying to Buddhists, Christians, and Jews. Occasions noted include Hinduism's Vasant Panchami, Imbolc for Pagans and Wiccans, and Islam's Eid-al-Fitr.
Pema Chodron's wise and serene words, words that have brought comfort and lasting change, are profound as always. This is illustrated in gems such as: "The spirit of true awakening is all about letting go of everything." The Pema Chodron quotes used in the "Awakening the Heart" 2010 mini-calendar come from her book "The Places That Scare You."
With its compact size, reasonable price, diversity of holiday notations, stunning images, and wisely poetic words, Pema Chodron's "Awakening the Heart" is a solid choice for anyone seeking a mini 2010 calendar.
