Pema Chodron - The practice of Tonglen

- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Tonglen is Tibetan for 'giving and taking' (or sending and receiving), and refers to a meditation practice found in Tibetan Buddhism.
In the practice, one visualizes taking in the suffering of oneself and of others on the in-breath, and on the out-breath giving recognition, compassion, and succor to all sentient beings.] As such it is a training in altruism.
The function of the practice is to:
a) Reduce selfish attachment
b) Increase a sense of renunciation
C) Create positive karma by giving and helping
d) Develop and expand loving-kindness and bodhicitta
The soft spot...big exhale, tears come...
This works. I've been in the presence of several people, who were suffering from things like overwhelming grief, terror of dying, depression, etc... What I do that is different than most people who are not aware of this practice is I don't try to make it better.I simply, as Pema advises, take their suffering into my heart, pen my heart to their pain. I also stay fully present with them. And they inevitably tell me that they feel better, usually within a couple of minutes. They say they feel more calm. I know I do.
This was so helpful for me in this practice which is so challenging but I feel lighter after the tears and its power. Thank you, Pema.
