Sravasti Abbey is the only Tibetan Buddhist training monastery for Westerners in the US and holds gender equality, social engagement, and care for the environment amongst its core values. Ven. Chodron teaches worldwide and is known for her practical (and humorous!) explanations of how to apply Buddhist teachings in daily life. She is also actively involved in prison outreach and interfaith dialogue. She has published many books on Buddhist philosophy and meditation, and has coauthored a book—Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions—with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, with whom she has studied for nearly forty years.Praise"A wise and beautiful collection of reflections that provide a daily reminder of what’s true, what’s real, and what matters." —Daniel Gilbert, Harvard University, author of Stumbling on Happiness

Our mindfulness must extend to whatever is going on in our minds throughout the day. The brief daily reflections in Awaken Every Day provide helpful and practical tools to accomplish just that." —Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Love
