Tonglen - Cutting Through The Ego With Love

Tonglen is the traditional Tibetan practice of 'sending' and 'receiving'. It is a radical, transformative compassion practice which has the power to open our hearts and cut through our egos. By breathing out love and goodness, and breathing in pain and suffering we explore the possibility of going against our habitual tendencies to cling on to pleasure and push away all that is difficult. It is a key practice for developing bodhicitta.
