Perfect Just as You Are
Buddhist Practices on the Four Limitless Ones: Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity
By Pema Chodron
$39.95
- CD


Spiritual practice, Pema Ch�dr�n teaches, has nothing to do with self-improvement, since, as the course�s title claims, you�re already perfect right now. The limitless qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity are your deep-down, ultimate reality, and those are qualities that can�t be improved upon. If you�re not feeling particularly kind, compassionate, joyful, or equanimous at the moment, take heart: the Four Limitless Ones are there like seeds, waiting to be cultivated through practice�and, being limitless, they�re rich enough to be worked with for a lifetime. This intensive program of study and practice provides the tools you need to access these radiant states and to nurture their growth for sake of all beings, including yourself. Here�s some of what you�ll learn:


How cultivating the Four Limitless Ones is the antidote to depression, irritation, and isolation

Basic meditation instructions to get you started in the foundational practice

A wealth of guided meditations for generating these radiant qualities to yourself, others, and the world

Writing and reflection exercises to bring the Four Limitless Ones powerfully into real life

A simple chant you can use to create love and good will around yourself

Powerful on-the-spot practices you can use throughout the day, even when there�s �no time to practice�


Do the program at your own pace. It fits perfectly with any other kind of meditation you�re doing. And since no previous knowledge of Buddhism is required, it�s also ideal for those new to spiritual practice. After you�ve completed the material in Perfect Just as You Are, you�ll want to listen to it again periodically�any time you need a refresher course in compassion, loving-kindness, equanimity, and joy.
