Every first Sunday of the month includes tonglen (“sending and taking”) instruction and practice. This is a traditional Buddhist compassion practice: We breathe in the pain and suffering of others so they can be well. Then we breathe out happiness, joy, or whatever will relieve that suffering. This is best practiced with the support of a meditation community (sangha).

There is ample free street parking. This group meditation is a free offering, but donations are always welcome.
