Description:
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. 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 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 three-hour workshop, Good Medicine offers a revolutionary practice that is already a thousand years old - and ready to awaken your heart, right now, wherever and whoever you are. Includes 12-page study guide.
