Tonglen meditation is based on a deep contemplation of the importance of our own mother. From the transformative understanding of equanimity, we gradually expand and include all beings in the exercise of love and compassion in order to transform our own mind and be able to treat the root of our suffering and reveal our true nature.
Take advantage of this opportunity to receive teachings and practice Tonglen with Lama Tsering.
This is a spontaneous offering event.
Remember that making an offering is not paying a fee, but an act of generosity. It helps us on our path to practice the perfection of generosity.
