Two Brilliant Authors -- One Life-Changing Practice: How can human suffering become "good Medicine"? Through tonglen: the ancient Tibetan meditation that transforms pain into compassion on the medium of your own breath. This VHS reveals the revolutionary power of tonglen through a dialogue between two hearts and minds forged in very different cultures -- and yet deeply joined in the simple practice of compassion. Take a front-row seat as the Pulitzer Prize-winning Walker and American-born Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön reflect on anger, joy, fear, and the union of spirituality and social activism. Hear their personal experiences of the "giving and taking" meditation and how it has helped heal their lives. Let their combined wisdom illuminate the realm, available to us all, where barriers between the self and others dissolve. Recorded live at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts.Secondary Title
