The Wisdom of Compassion – Bodhichitta and Tonglen | Online

Bodhichitta and Tonglen – 8 week course 22 July to 9 September 2025  attend online.

Students who have attended a Rigpa course previously and are familiar with meditation, Loving Kindness practices and The Four Immeasureables are invited to join this class.

The Buddhist practice of ‘equalizing self and others’ (Tonglen) as expressed in giving with great love and taking with great compassion, known as Tonglen, is one of the most useful and powerful of all Buddhist practices. Tonglen is a simple and straightforward practice, which is extremely effective at getting to the heart of our predicament: our excessively self-centred attitude. Tonglen opens you to the truth of the suffering of others; it reveals the loving, expansive radiance of your own nature. And it offers extraordinary power in destroying the self-cherishing and self-absorption which is the root of all our heard-heartedness and all our suffering.

Note: This class will be held online only due to building work at our center in Newtown.
