#95 Tonglen Guided Practice
Continuing her mini-series on the Brahma Viharas, the Four Immeasurables, Jen shares the Tibetan practice of Tonglen. This training in compassion is an inner alchemy where the practitioner seeks to transmute the suffering of others.
Tonglen teaches us how to grow our hearts beyond the boundaries of those in our in-crowd. It invites us to embrace our common humanity as an extension of our own being.
This particular variation of Tonglen is inspired by a version by Roshi Joan Halifax.
To skip the talk and go straight to the mediation, fast forward to 4:18 or use the chapter marker if your player supports them.
