Taking in the suffering of all sentient beings and transforming it with love and compassion

This podcast is about Tonglen (Tong lin) meditation. I talk about
how I use the practice to relieve anxiety, stress, anger, and
frustration. This isn’t about by-passing reality or having wishy
thinking, this is about inviting in the pain and suffering of all
beings and seeing it transformed into love, light, and healing.
The world seems like it’s unbalanced, unfair, and brutal at times
and this practice helps me to change my thinking and cultivate a
space of compassion and empathy. I encourage you to look up
Tonglen for yourself, my practice is only loosely based on an
ancient and complicated practice. The book I mention is Thomas E.
Mails, “Fools Crow Wisdom and Power,” the teachings of Frank
Fools Crow, ceremonial chief of the Teton Sioux.
