So do others on our team, including our executive producer Liliana Maria Percy Ruíz and our art director Erin Colasacco. I’m not Buddhist, but I carry this book with me wherever I go. She’s one of the greatest living teachers and writers in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. When Things Fall Apart is a tiny volume by Pema Chödrön. Krista Tippett, host: We live in unusual times and this is an unusual show - a kind of “spiritual book club” edition of On Being. Shambhala Publications, which publishes When Things Fall Apart as well as many other books by Pema Chödrön, is a 50 year old independent family-owned publisher of books and is not affiliated with any other organization or meditation center. Pema Chödrön apologized shortly after that report was released, and in 2020 she announced her retirement as Shambhala teacher in a letter to the Shambhala community. Pema Chödrön, who was part of the Shambhala community when those incidents occurred, was named in that report as having dismissed a claim of sexual assault from a woman.
Editor’s note: In 2018, the Buddhist Project Sunshine released reports on sexual violence and misconduct in the Shambhala Buddhist community going as far back as 1983.
