Exchanging Self with Other (Tonglen)

Meditation
Written By Stay FIERCE

In the practice of Tonglen, you exchange the sense of self with the other, taking and giving, should be practiced alternately. These two should ride on the inhalation and exhalation of your breath.

The benefits of this type of practice:

  • reduce selfish preoccupation

  • increase a sense of letting go

  • purify intention by giving and helping

  • develop and expand loving-kindness and interconnectivity
