Compassion For The World. (Tonglen)

Published: Dec. 20, 2021, 4:27 a.m.

Here I offer a guided meditation practice designed to cultivate compassion for the world. Tonglen is a Tibetan word which means "exchange." In this practice we are encouraged to breathe in the suffering of others and to breathe out our own joy and comfort to the world, sending it out as an act of compassion and generosity. 

Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org

I have been practicing meditation for 36 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books. I have received formal training in Theravada, Mahayana (Tibetan, Zen,) and Vedanta meditation techniques as well as Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, MBSR, Neuroplasticity, and Buddhist Psychology. I teach from a secular voice and I am passionate about bringing timeless wisdom teachings to people of any faith, belief system, or tradition.
