Pema Chödrön has joined a number of other Buddhist figures in addressing the suffering in Nepal caused by the recent devastating earthquake there.

Tonglen practice, she reminds us in a new Facebook post, offers us “the opportunity to work with compassion, kindness, gentleness and generosity,” especially in a time of suffering and confusion. Watch her short tonglen instruction below, and be sure also to read Pema’s helpful tonglen guidance from the Shambhala Sun, “Tonglen: Bad In, Good Out.”
