DVD: Good Medicine

Within the wisdom teachings of Buddhism, there are many stories that refer to its founder as the Supreme Physician, a healer of all illness?mental, physical, and spiritual. The Buddha understood suffering and its antidote, and his prescription and philosophy for right living led directly to a Tibetan meditation practice that is the medicine our modern-day hearts have been searching for. On Good Medicine, the remarkable American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun Pema Ch?dr?n shares the gift of tonglen, a simple and elegant meditation system for ordinary people like ourselves. Through tonglen, we can use the difficulties in life?those that cause the most suffering?as a way to befriend ourselves, accept the past we have rejected, and widen our circle of compassion. These traditional breathing meditations cut through obstacles on the spot. Skillfully distilled into a two-and-a half-hour workshop, Good Medicine offers a revolutionary practice that is already 1, years old?and ready to awaken our hearts today."
