In Good Medicine，Pema Chodron 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." Pema Chodron is an American Buddhist nun and one of the foremost students of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche，the current Shambhala lineage holder，and Chodron Trungpa Rinpoche. She is the Director of Gampo Abbey，Nova Scotia, the first Tibetan monastery in North America established for Westerners. Two CD's including video enhancements, approximately 2 1/2 hours.
