"Compassion meditation, or 'Tong-len,' trains us to loosen our fixation on ourselves by engaging with suffering of others. We visualize ourselves taking others' suffering into our hearts and dissolving it, while sending them all of our virtue and peace of mind. By practicing this visualization, we begin to experience authentic, lasting happiness. Taught in English." - from the Karma Triyana Dharmachakra program schedule.
