Guided Meditations with HH Rinpoche
H.H. Rinpoche Leads A Tonglen Guided Meditation
Tonglen: A Practice of Compassion
Tonglen is a simple but powerful meditation from Tibetan Buddhism. The word means “giving and taking” or “sending and receiving.”
In this practice, you breathe in the pain and suffering of others, and you breathe out love, comfort, and healing. It may sound strange at first, but it’s a way to grow your compassion and learn to care deeply for others.
Tonglen helps us open our hearts and see that everyone—just like us—wants to be happy and free from pain. By practicing this, we slowly learn to put others before ourselves and become more kind, patient, and understanding.
You can start with someone you love, then gradually include others—even people you don’t know, or find difficult. Over time, this practice helps make the world a gentler place, one breath at a time.
Part 1 Tibetan Shinay Meditation with H.H.Rinpoche
Shinay (Tranquility Meditation)
Please subscribe for more teachings.
Shinay—also known as Shamata in Sanskrit—is one of the first meditation practices in Tibetan Buddhism. It means “calm abiding” or “tranquility meditation.”
In this practice, we sit quietly and gently rest our attention—either on the breath or a simple object, like a flower or a statue of the Buddha. As we settle the mind, we begin to notice thoughts and emotions coming and going, just like clouds passing through the sky.
Part 2 Tibetan Shinay Meditation with H.H.Rinpoche
Shinay Pt2.This helps us realize that our thoughts aren’t solid or permanent, and that our minds are actually flexible and changeable. With regular practice, shinay builds inner calm and mental stability—qualities that are essential for working with deeper Buddhist teachings.
That’s why many lamas call Shinay the foundation of all practice. Without this stability, we get caught in a cycle of hope and fear, chasing pleasant experiences and avoiding discomfort. Shinay teaches us that we don’t have to struggle to be aware—awareness itself is a powerful path to transformation.
The goal of shinay is not to eliminate thoughts, but to remain undisturbed by them. When the mind grows calm and clear, we may begin to glimpse its true nature. This deeper awareness — known as Lhaktong, or "clear seeing" — is the natural fruit of a steady and peaceful mind. 🙏
