Tonglen, the Path of Transformation

Tonglen is a meditation practice for cultivating love and compassion. It is a gentle, step by step process of opening the heart. By embracing, rather than rejecting, the unwanted and painful aspects of experience, we overcome fear and develop greater empathy for others. We are more in tune with both the joy and suffering of life. This book is a practical guide to deepening our practice and understanding of tonglen. Working with questions and answers, dialogue and exchange, it provides an invaluable reference for tonglen practitioners of all levels.
