Tonglen Practice Six-Week Workshop presented by Deborah Calloway

Limitless compassion for oneself and others may seem unattainable. This course teaches The Seven Stages of Cause and Effect, a series of tonglen (sending and taking) visualization practices that gradually transform our outlook until loving kindness and compassion for ourselves and others arise more readily. Each practice includes a suggested post-meditation practice to help us bring loving kindness and compassion into our world and begin to interact more skillfully with the great variety of individuals we encounter. This class includes practice instruction, guided visualization practice, guided contemplation, brief talks about the practices, discussion and question & answer sessions. This course is based on Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche’s teaching on Compassion Without Limit (Naropa, 2003).

Due to the pandemic, this course will meet ONLINE ONLY. See below on how to attend the Zoom meeting.
