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 it’s actually the question that initiated an extraordinary spiritual collaboration.
Pema Chödrön and Father Greg Boyle met in a night of interfaith conversation for a great cause: aiding Homeboy Industries, the world’s 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 Pema’s conversation is available as
