| Watching these two brilliant authors exchanging deeply on the meaning of suffering and the mystery of joy is very moving. The film is heart. How can human suffering become good medicine? Through an ancient Tibetan meditation that transforms pain into compassion on the medium of your own breath. This practice is revolutionary in that you breathe in all suffering and unhappiness, and you breathe out all happiness and joy. Their personal and humorous experiences share how compassion helped heal their lives – two hearts and minds forged in very different cultures. It is front-row seat listening to Alice Walker (Pulitzer Prize winner The Color Purple) and American born Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön (When things fall apart). Says Alice: “Through this practice I met another tribe of ancestors coming to my rescue.” One comes away with a light feeling of limitless positive possibility. | |
