I accidentally discovered this technique years ago and didn't know it had a name. Thank you!

What an excellent description of Tonglen. Such a powerful practice. Thank you so much. Tashi delek.

I just had a friend pass away tragically from suicide. I came across Tonglen while researching meditations/prayers for grief and death. Near the end of your talk yoy mentioned doing Tonglen for an animal who has passed and it came to my mind that it Acrually did that a couple of weeks back for a dog that had been hit and was lying on the side of the road. I pulled over to see if it was still alive but it wasn’t and so without knowing that I was doing Tonglen, I breathed in his pain and suffering and breathed out peace and love to this poor animal. Wow! So happy to have come across this talk. THANK YOU. I will be revisiting it often while I learn this new meditation technique. What I would give to have a teacher such as yourself in my part of the world. Thank you for this talk. 🙏🏼💗

Such a beautiful practice explained with so much heart.. thank you sincerely.🙏🏽
