Healing Meditations of the Heart - The Buddhist Practice of Tonglen April 5, 2009

This workshop explores the Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice of Tonglen and its powerful potential to heal negative emotional states and transform suffering itself - both our own and that of others. Tibetan Buddhist master Sogyal Rinpoche said the "holy secret of Tonglen is one that the mystic masters and saints of every tradition know; and living and embodying it is what fills their lives with joy." We will also look at the role this practice plays in cultivating Bodhicitta, a Sanskrit word meaning heart of the awakened mind, the source and root of all spiritual paths. Participants will gain a very powerful tool that can be integrated in their life to deepen their spirituality and transform the suffering they see in themselves and others.
