Tonglen Meditation & Compassion Practice

Dr. Miles Neale guides a 'giving-and-taking' meditation (tonglen) from the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist tradition designed to cultivate compassion and greater tolerance for interpersonal distress. The practice begins with a contemplation on the Four Point Exchange of Self and Other from Shantideva's Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life.
Dr. Miles Neale is a Buddhist psychotherapist in private practice, instructor at Weill Cornell Medical College, author of the lam rim primer Gradual Awakening (Sounds True, 2018), and founder of the Gradual Path for inner and outer journeys. His forthcoming book is Return with Elixir: Pilgrimage of the Soul Through Death and Rebirth (Inner Traditions, 2024).

Is it recommended to act as a good person would (being supportive, caring, patient), or would that be considered as "being fake"?
