About Love On Every Breath: Tonglen Meditation For
Product Description Today, when our human family is facing so many challenges, it is more important than ever that we find peace and sustenance in our hearts. Love on Every Breath, or Tonglen, is an eight-step meditation for anyone who wants to nourish and open their heart. An ancient and profound meditation that has been practiced in isolated mountain retreats in the Himalayas for centuries, it is now available to us in the modern world. Lama Palden Drolma, a Western teacher trained by Tibetan Buddhist masters and also schooled in contemporary psychotherapy, introduces readers to the meditation in this powerful, user-friendly book. She walks readers step-by-step through the meditation, from beginning issues of sitting with awareness and focusing on the breath to taking in and extending love. Real-life challenges of sadness, anger, and overwhelm are addressed with “On-the-Spot” versions of the meditation. Love on Every Breath is a meditation that changes our experience in the moment — and changes our lives. Review “As the rising voice of the feminine gives new life to perennial wisdom teachings, hidden jewels are being revealed through a feminine lens and rendering the esoteric utterly available. Tonglen is such a treasure. Through Lama Palden’s loving heart and lucid mind, we are offered practical tools with which to take the pain of the world all the way in, where it may be transmuted into a healing elixir for all beings.” — Mirabai Starr, author of Caravan of No Despair and Wild Mercy “Drawing on Eastern spirituality and modern psychology, Love on Every Breath offers a tried-and-true method for living joyfully in a suffering world. Indeed, this empowering book reveals how we can transform ourselves and our world by opening our hearts to others. If you want to bring more kindness into the world, read this book.” — Christine Carter, PhD, author of Raising Happiness and The Sweet Spot: How to Accomplish More by Doing Less “Love on every breath is not just for Vajrayana practitioners. Lama Palden offers alternative ways of framing the embodiment of love for people of other traditions. She says that love on every breath is a particularly helpful practice for activists confronting the suffering of this world.” — Lion’s Roar “The Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tonglen — breathing in suffering and breathing out compassion — is a once-secret treasure that our world now urgently needs. Lama Palden faithfully transmits the traditional instruction she received from her many Tibetan masters, while speaking in the warm, conversational tone of an intimate friend. . . . Love on Every Breath is rigorous enough to appeal to the dedicated Buddhist practitioner, while being accessible to people of every religious or nonreligious persuasion.” — Lewis Richmond, author of Aging as a Spiritual Practice “As a Catholic Sister, I found Lama Palden’s book, Love on Every Breath, to be an important spiritual work for persons of every spiritual tradition. Living in such a time of increasing hatred and violence, Palden’s sharing of how to grow our capacity for compassion through her enhanced practice of Tonglen is so needed. Her explanation of the Buddhist framework for this practice is clear and interspersed with examples from her life, making it very readable for those not as familiar with that tradition.” — Sister Nancy Sylvester, IHM, Institute for Communal Contemplation and Dialogue “With all the suffering in our world right now, there isn’t a better time to learn and use this compassionate and loving practice.” — Krysta Gibson, New Spirit Journal “Impressively informative, exceptionally well organized and presented, Love on Every Breath: Tonglen Meditation for Transforming Pain into Joy is a life changing, life enhancing, life celebrating read from first page to last.” — Midwest Book Review “In Love on Every Breath, Lama Palden offers us a clear and powerful treatise on how to turn suffering into compassion, both within ours
