Tonglen: Compassion in Action
Details
Tonglen, an ancient Tibetan compassion practice, means ‘sending and receiving’. This fundamental practice is a radical twist on the way that ego usually thinks and acts.
In tonglen, we breathe in what is difficult and painful; we breathe in the suffering of others. We breathe out spaciousness, ease, happiness—the things that help dispel suffering. In acting to dispel the sufferings of others, we also dispel our fear of our own suffering. In this way, it gets to the absolute heart of compassion in action and makes compassion real.
This class is also for those who are new to Tonglen, but have at least some experience in meditation practice AND for those who have already learned Tonglen but would like to refresh their practice.
