Towards Bodhicitta: Tonglen For Others

This meditation is from a series of teachings Venerable Sangye Khadro gave on part of the text “Ornament for Clear Realization.” This is the final meditation of 11, though they do not need to be listened to in order.

Tonglen is a method to bring about positive change in our minds by developing bodhicitta, or great compassion, and overcoming self-centeredness. In this practice, we imagine sincerely caring for someone we know by imagining taking on their suffering and offering them our happiness.
