Awakening Compassion in a Fearful World: The Practice of Tonglen

from Tara Brach · host Tara Brach

As anxiety, division, and digital distance numb our hearts, we risk losing our ability to truly feel the lives of others. In this talk, we'll explore how compassion arises when another becomes real to us — when we can imagine their inner world and sense our shared belonging. Through reflections, stories, and the Tibetan practice of tonglen, we'll learn how to transform suffering into care, and re-open the relational pathways that let us act from love. Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music
