The two arms of the Buddha are Wisdom and Compassion. This intimate study group integrates the teachings on Compassion and Love. This spring, our topic of study will be an introduction to Tonglen, the meditation practice of "Taking and Sending". Tonglen was devised not only as a compassion practice but as a way of breaking our ego-centric desire system and finding a steadfast calm in any condition. Simply stated, it is a breath practice where you inhale the poisons and pain of the world and exhale kindness, compassion and love. Please have some introduction to loving-kindness practices before taking this class. Handouts are included. Class meets every other Monday.
