Good Medicine for Difficult Times.
Within the wisdom teachings of Buddhism, there are many stories that refer to its founder as theSupreme Physician : a healer of all illness - mental, physical, and spiritual. The Buddha understood suffering and its antidote. His prescription and philosophy for right living led directly to a Tibetan meditation practice that is today the medicine our hearts have been searching for.
On Good Medicine, the remarkable American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun known as Pema Chödrön shares the gift of tonglen, a simple and elegant meditation systemfor 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 obstacleson the spot.
Skillfully distilled into a two-and-a half-hour workshop, Good Medicine offers a revolutionary practice that is already nine hundred years old - and ready to awaken the hearts of America, right now, wherever and whoever you are.
