    ARCHIVED TONGLEN PRACTICE

    Dear all,

    the last opportunity to practice Tonglen was Sunday, October 20th.

    For those who may be new to Tonglen Practice and what it's about, Tonglen is an ancient Practice originating in Tibet, but has been adopted by many Zen and other Western Buddhist Sanghas, for the transformation of suffering, anger, sadness and the like within ourselves and in the world, and transforming the same through visualization into peace, joy, acceptance and other positive emotions.

    Hello everyone,

    Today was the last live session of this wonderful practice.

    For anyone who wishes to try it or continue on their own, there is a collection
    of all recordings that will not be archived for the time being.

    Also, one can practice Tonglen at any time and in any place with shorter
    or longer sessions, or simply hold their Tonglen in their hearts wherever they are.

    I heartily thank Jundo, Kokuu, and everyone who supported the circle for such a long time
    I am deeply grateful for being able to serve the community.

    See you around

      Thank you, Washin for being so dedicated to keeping this activity going. You were there every week, even though it was at 10pm for you! Thank you for your generous service to the sangha during this time and thank you to all the friends who participated and kept the group going!

        Thank you Washin, and Kokuu before you, for keeping this going for so long, even when interest was less. I remember that during Covid's early days, many people benefitted.

        The old recordings are still here, and folks will be able to reach into the library and give it a try at any time.

        And we also point folks to our recommended daily Metta Practice, for someone seeking a lovely practice with common flavor.
