Tonglen For Periods of Discomfort

This style of tonglen (taking and giving) practice comes from the mind-training (Tib. lojong) teachings of the Into-Tibetan tradition. It combines practices of compassion and loving kindness to help us expand our mind beyond the habitual types of self-grasping, so that any type of discomfort we might be feeling becomes a source of openness and connection to all other beings.

Thank you for this unusual and enlightened practice. I shall repeat this on difficult days to try to lighten my of we load. Namaste

Thank you. Beautifully guided with plenty of open space.

Helpful for all that I am feeling and overwhelmed by. I was wondering if there could be a further explanation about reading in the darkness (which feels almost scary in todays world, how we protect our hearts and minds knowing that it won’t stay in us or become part of us. My intellect knows this but my psyche/subconscious do not. Thank you so much.

Much needed in these times of global suffering. Many thanks.
