As the war in Ukraine brings in dramatic scenes and stories of suffering and destruction, we may tend to feel helpless or, even worse, depressed, cynical or angry. The compassion practice of tonglen gives us the opportunity to direct our empathy and concern and encourages us to keep our hearts open and our minds stable. This episode offers a brief tonglen demonstration and a discussion period about compassion and the war in Ukraine.
