Tonglen Starters!

Namaste,

     Today, let us start our practice by breathing in the suffering of those who have lost their homes due to the wildfires in Southern California.  Breath out the cool, refreshing respite they so deserve.

Namaste,

E Buzz outtie!

     Today, let us start our Tonglen Practice with the suffering of those familys who lost Loved ones in today's needless violence in Lebanon, Isreal, and Iraq.  Breath into their percieved images, the entire beauty of the Kosmos and all of It's Devine Light.

Namaste,

E Buzz outtie!
