Every first Sunday on the month includes tonglen instruction and practice. Tonglen is a traditional Buddhist compassion practice meaning “sending and taking”. We breathe in others pain or suffering so they can be well and then breathe out happiness, joy, or whatever will relieve the suffering. Tonglen is best practiced with the support of a meditation community.
