*Please note: this is a live recording, and features the sound of heavy rain in parts.* In this practice, Rick's teacher, John P. Milton, a renowned ecologist, spiritual teacher, meditation master, vision quest leader and shaman, guides you through a Tonglen practice to expand your compassion and loving kindness to others by reducing your own painful attachments. As an ecologist, John P. Milton helped found the environmental movement in the 1960's and was one of the first staff ecologists at the White House during the Nixon Administration. Through his spiritual pull to learn more and facilitated by his global travel for the WWF, John dived into spiritual traditions of Daoism, Tibetan Buddhism, Tantra, Vedantic Hinduism and Shamanism. His work and practices led him to sacred places across the world, studying extensively with renowned spiritual masters and practitioners, including Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
