Summary: Tonglen, the Buddhist meditation practice of 'sending and receiving' works in an almost alchemical way to relieve the suffering of others and your personal pain at the same time. The practice of Tonglen fires up a boiler or a smithy within the soul and then guides you to shovel the jet black coal of suffering into the white hot flames in the furnace. Through the practice, the universe uses you as a forge. As paradoxical as it sounds, by accepting the negativity or anguish or others you are purified and your true loving nature is revealed. Your willingness to accept their suffering allows you to become the anvil for the creation of joy and light with your own heart and others as well. This is a 45 minute version of the 'Tonglen for Others' meditation.<br><hr><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
