Metta & Tonglen For The Earth

This guided meditation was recorded in September 2020 during the West Coast fires. This practice begins by connecting us to our physical place on the planet. After this, we practice both Metta and tonglen for the suffering of the earth.

I loved this! I had been praying for fog, for rain, for cooler temperatures, for more firefighters, for more support for firefighters, and for protection for the forests, the animals of the forests, and people’s homes. I would alternately feel useful and overwhelmed. Ultimately, all of these prayers were answered, yet the awareness of the tremendous suffering was at times hard to bear. This is an exquisite and powerful practice. Thank you. And, again ultimately, we must bring ourselves to practice tonglen for those profoundly suffering human beings whose attitudes and behaviors are contributing so strongly to global warming: those suffering from greed with little to no awareness of the devastating impact of their consumerism and policy decision-making on Gaia. For, the truth is that, if Humanity does not survive, Gaia will. And Gaia will recover from this cancer that we have created.
