    Found Pema through her mini books offered while I was in prison. Buddhism kept me sane.

    I came to this many times in my life, and it has guided me to face my suffering using it as a tool for healing. Yesterday, Tonglen meditation allowed me to process my pain and sorrow regarding Aaron Bushnell. Bless you Pema.

    “You need to empty your mind, and relax each other muscle group until you feel like you are going to melt into the floor. Then you just let it all go. All the expectations, all the unneeded worry, all the things other people want for you but you don't want for yourself.”

    I am in deep dark, the kind of dark that is terror. nowhere left to go, nothing left to do. in the end, it is only you and ego facing each other. what cannot be named.

    So incredibly lovely. I find it difficult to actually do the meditation because there is constant talking, with different suggestions, so it’s hard to focus on one thing

    @eaglelight108 Před 4 lety +7

    dear Pema, please tell me, why would we do this practise? Is it an authentic spiritual practise or more psychological? Thank you, I have no past experience with Tonglen. Does the act of doing to glen for others actually alleviate the suffering of another?

    • @dianashimkus90
      @dianashimkus90 Před 4 lety +19

      It reduces our own self-referencing; reducing our and others suffering, and continues to open us instead of separate us-in our connection we are more available to the world, as a healing agent.

    Why does she focus on claustrophobia?

    • @AppleliciousStory
      @AppleliciousStory Před rokem

      Because being fearful is also a type of self cherishing mind (ego). By facing your ego and watching your mind freak out over something you thought claustrophobic/scary (eg taking the sufferings of others), overtime you suffer less and increase bodhicitta because the ego lessened. It is just dark, heavy, thick, hot - not an opinion of what is your perception of what is heavy, thick and hot 😊

    With all my humble respect. I don't agree We can take loads from our parents and We shouldn't try it to do it. I think the approach is not the correct. We can only receive from them. With all respect

      More people will receive it and hopefully see some positive effects from it
      Then they will likely explore more about her work
