Reducing Suffering With Tonglen

Tonglen means, “sending and taking,” an ancient Buddhist practice to awaken compassion. With each in-breath, we take in others’ pain. With each out-breath, we send them relief. This is a visualization practice and therefor a foundational mindfulness practice is needed so you can stay relatively present. Folks have different abilities to visualize so if you are new to the practice don't be hard on yourself if you can't hold the images in your mind very well!
