Lama Palden discusses compassion and the Tonglen practice of sending and receiving. Please note that the actual practice portion of the talk has been removed since it is important for students to receive direct transmission of the teachings from the teacher.
When we are present with experience and can sustain our connection, this allows for a deep intimacy with all things. This brings love, delight, wisdom and responsiveness, as we engage with our life.
The metta practice is powerful because it works on all aspects of our being. But when it is suffused with equanimity and deepened by concentration, it can really transform our hearts and minds.
