Tonglen 🧡

Please join us for Session I, Introduction to Tonglen, of Shambhala's Embodying Peace Together: The Path of Tonglen Series. The session will be led by Jeff Scott on Monday, Sept 26, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern.

Tonglen is a Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice that is known as “sending and receiving.” On the inhale, you take in the pain and suffering of yourself and others, and on the exhale you give space, compassion and healing to yourself and others. Tonglen practice instruction will be given every day, so beginners are welcome to join an individual session or attend the entire series.

Merit 💜🧡💚

"Whatever moves us beyond self-centeredness sows positive seeds in our mind-stream. With the right causes and conditions, these seeds will blossom into fortunate circumstances. This good fortune is called "merit" and manifests as supportive outer conditions and mental states. The ultimate merit comes from connecting with the unbiased clarity of our mind."
