eB 115 - Compassionate Boundaries pt 1

Jampal Norbu explores the application of tonglen within everyday life - especially in relationship to oneself. 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 verse is the first in a two part look at how tonglen can be applied within caregiving, and to honor those who regularly extend beyond themselves. Theme music by Matt Quentin
