time for tonglen when faced with havoc like our country is in, everyone shouting nobody listening—for the sake of wellbeing and a quieter mind I needed reminding return to tonglen— exhale peace to all, sailing clear light out inhale misery or despair taking note of what is repeat and repeat until my body eases no downside to this ancient medicine
Love this one. I learned about tonglen from reading Pema Chodrön and getting to see her teach at the Omega Institute. It's such a beautiful practice. xo
I've never gotten to sit with her in person, but most of her books live, read more than once, on my shelf. I learned tonglen from a beautiful man and American lama, Michael Conklin, in Portland, Oregon. I'll tell you that story sometime...
