Tonglen is a Tibetan word meaning "Sending and receiving." "In the practice of tonglen, we breathe in whatever feels bad, and send out whatever feels good." If we feel discomfort, anger, guilt, loneliness or other emotions usually considered "bad," rather than trying to deny them, repress them, project them onto others, we can instead merely accept them. What a simple, revolutionary concept!
