Breathing Love & Compassion: Transforming Suffering into Peace

Discover a powerful meditation practice that opens the heart and transforms suffering into love. In this gentle yet profound series, we’ll explore the ancient Kadampa Buddhist method of Taking and Giving—a breathing meditation that helps us cultivate deep compassion, let go of self-centered thinking, and awaken a courageous heart. By learning to take away the pain of others and give happiness in return, we can begin to live with greater purpose, love, and resilience in our daily lives.
Perfect for both new and experienced meditators, this series offers practical teachings and guided meditations to bring love and compassion into the world—one breath at a time.
