Buddhist nun Pema Chodron provides listeners with lessons of hope for dark and painful times. She explains that a hidden ''doorway'' to freedom appears when a person feels there is no way out of hardship, and that just beyond the door is the key to facing difficult circumstances courageously and fully. Listeners learn about the awareness of impermanence, and will learn how to separate themselves from external triggers of anger, fear, and sadness.
