Dear Friends, we will be on retreat from May 13 through May 19. Orders placed after Friday, May 11 will be shipped the week of May 21.
To our international customers: The Post Office has raised it's rates and the update has caused the international shipping rate to only show the Priority option. We are working to fix the problem. In the meantime, let us know if you'd prefer First Class International and we will adjust your rate accordingly. Thank you.

Great Path is affiliated with The Pema Chödrön Foundation and Pema Chödrön's monastery, Gampo Abbey. A percentage of proceeds from sales goes to the Pema Chödrön Foundation, which supports Gampo Abbey and the legacy of Ani Pema's teachings. We also work closely with Sounds True and Shambhala Publications, and sell their edited versions of Pema Chödrön's audio and video teachings which they produce.
Pema Chödrön
Pema Chödrön is a student of the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, and was asked to teach by her teacher, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. The current lineage holder, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, appointed her to the position of Gampo Acharya (master teacher) in the Shambhala Buddhist organization. She has also studied closely with Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, as well as a number of other great Tibetan Buddhist teachers and teachers of other Buddhist lineages.
More Information
Check out the links section on this site or contact us directly for information about Pema Chödrön's teaching schedule, information about obtaining meditation instruction, the names and addresses of Shambhala Meditation Centers close to where you live, and other vendors who offer related teachings and products. We do recommend that people receive in-person meditation instruction from an authorized instructor if possible, rather than relying solely on books or recordings. We can help connect you with programs, centers, and individuals who could assist with that.
Contact Us
Contact us by email, fax, phone, or mail. Although this website has a secure shopping cart and descriptions of these teachings, we are very happy to consult with you on the phone or by email about any questions you may have. We realize that there is a great deal of information here, so contact us, please, if you would like help sorting through it. You are more than customers to us, you are students and fellow practitioners.
You have our best wishes.
