Description
Jampal Norbu explores the application of tonglen within everyday life - especially in relationship with our selves. The tenth verse of Lojong, “Begin the sequence of taking with oneself”, is a potent slogan for caregivers who know what is required to relate with the suffering of those around them. This episode is the second of a two-part look at how tonglen can be applied within caregiving, and to honor those caregivers who regularly extend beyond themselves. Theme music by Matt Quentin.
