Tonglen is a profound meditation that transforms self concern into compassion by imagining taking on the suffering of others and offering them your happiness, peace, and well-being. This practice opens the heart, reduces fear and negative emotions, strengthens courage and empathy, and develops the compassionate mind that leads to genuine inner peace and awakening.

This class will be taught by Geshe Jampa Tharchin, resident teacher and monk at Chandrakirti Meditation Centre.

With great kindness Geshe Jampa Tharchin will give a commentary on the text Seven Point Mind Training by the famous Kadampa scholar, Geshe Chekawa. These Sunday classes will show us how to live a happy and successful life.

If our mind is pure and peaceful we will be happy, regardless of our external conditions. When it is unsettled, we will never find happiness, no matter how much we try to change our external conditions.

The method to make our mind pure and peaceful is to train in meditation. The Sunday meditation class covers methods to achieve this.

Geshela emphasizes the Five Powers to be cultivated
The Power of Intention
The Power of the White Seed
The Power of Familiarity
The Power of Repudiation
The Power of Prayer/Dedication
