The Healing Meditation of Taking and Giving
Buddha taught the sublime meditation known as taking or giving, or tonglen in Tibetan, as a special method for healing body and mind, transforming problems and developing the fearless open heart of a Bodhisattva on the path to enlightenment. In this meditation series Justine and France will explain this meditation and guide us into an experience of its transformative power. In particular we will learn how we can use it many different circumstances to help us deal creatively and skillfully with the difficulties that we encounter in our life.
