Love and compassion are natural, positive qualities we all possess. They can also be trained to emerge more often and impartially toward all beings. In this weekend course, Ani Könchog will teach various methods to open the heart, mainly based on teachings received from Pema Chödrön. The practices include meditation on loving-kindness and compassion and tonglen meditation, which means "taking and giving." There will be ample time for meditation, questions, and discussions.
