The 44 – Practice 8: Tonglen (sending & receiving)

By Leo Babauta

In this sending & receiving practice, we’re going to learn to:

1. Take in things that we normally want to push away, showing ourselves that we have a greater capacity to handle difficulty than we normally believe.
2. Transform difficulty into relief and openness.

These are miraculous things for a simple practice. Give it a shot.
