Tonglen Practice Circle - January 29, 2023

[Meian]

Hello all,

This Sunday, January 29, 2023, there will be another special guided Tonglen Practice Circle for anyone who wishes to do taking and sending practice for themselves and everyone affected by current world situations and the fear and anxiety that can go with them.

For those who may be new to Tonglen Practice and what it's about, Tonglen is an ancient Practice originating in Tibet, but now adopted by many Zen and other Western Buddhist Sanghas, for the transformation of suffering, anger, sadness and the like within ourselves and in the world, and transforming the same through visualization into peace, joy, acceptance and other positive emotions. For more information about Tonglen, visit https://www.treeleaf.org/forums/show...e-Instructions

This event will occur in the Scheduled Sitting Room (SSR) at 8pm UK time (UST/GMT) and last for around 35 minutes. The Treeleaf calendar will translate the time into your local time zone at https://www.treeleaf.org/now/#calendar.

I wasn't with Washin, too brief attending for world peace, or people and the earth; there are those in pain, I was at end of Tonglen. I have known not enough to eat, or places to sleep, or medicines; thank you for letting me sit for food and shelter, for all women, Meian who serves.
