A Heartfelt Conversation on Compassion, Forgiveness, and the Power of Second Chances What do a Buddhist nun and a Jesuit priest have in common? It may sound like the opening to a joke, but its actually the question that initiated an extraordinary spiritual collaboration. Pema Chdrn and Father Greg Boyle met in a night of interfaith conversation for a great cause: aiding Homeboy Industries, the worlds largest rehabilitation, re-entry, and job training program for former gang members. Originally founded by Father Greg in 1992, Homeboy Industries has helped thousands of people find renewed hope after leaving gang life. Now Father Greg and Pemas conversation is available as Creating a Culture of Tenderness, an audio program devoted to what it means to embody ones principles in the world. Co-teaching for the first time, here these beloved spiritual teachers offer an entertaining and inspiring dialogue on recognizing each others innate humanity, the power of second chances, and the profound connections between the worlds faiths. Creating a Culture of Tenderness truly demonstrates how forgiveness and service to others can reveal the most vital spiritual truths.
