Tonglen Practice Circle 28 October 2018

[Kokuu]

Please do join us for the beautiful Tibetan inspired practice of taking and sending (tonglen), tomorrow on Sunday 30 September. This practice is based on loving kindness (metta) and includes both taking in the suffering of others and sending joy, peace and metta.

All are very welcome to join whether they have previous experience of the practice or not.

The Tonglen Practice Circle will be happening on Sunday on Google hangouts. A link will be posted here ten minutes before the start and the video will be available to sit with on You Tube after broadcast:

Kokuu,
I want you to know that this is a great service you are providing to the sangha. While I may not be able to make some of the sittings, It's always helpful to me when I can.
