Pema Chodron 2012 Planner and Wall Calendar

This year’s Pema Chodron Calendars feature quotes from her small yet precious book: taking the leap. In it she shows an approach to meditation that doesn’t hide from the hard parts: after all, loads of people start meditating, few continue the practice. There are a lot of reasons why people do this – and they probably mostly have to do with how tough it is to face up to yourself on a day to day basis.

If you want help staying on track, these are the planner and calendars for you. The planner has a brilliantly colored set of three lotuses on the cover, all the photography is by Frans Lanting.
