Dissolving the Barriers: a Thousand Year Old Remedy for Modern Suffering
May 2 - 5, 2024
Cleverly side-stepping the western tendency to look for ‘cures’ through analysis and
problem solving, Tonglen accomplishes healing with a simple, imaginative 5-part
contemplative exercise. Through repeated practice, suffering and its causes are
gradually diminished, and wisdom and compassion arise in their place.
Genuine Tonglen is an advanced practice, but with precise guidance it can be effectively
undertaken by a determined beginner, with or without previous meditation experience.
