Summary: In this episode Reggie discusses tonglen, a Buddhist compassion practice, within the context of the Vajrayana understanding of interdependence. He says that when we encounter any difficult person, situation, or emotion we are meeting a part of ourselves that we have rejected. By opening to these rejected aspects we become whole. Today's episode was drawn from two talks given at the 2011 Winter Dathun - a month-long retreat held at the Blazing Mountain Retreat Center in Crestone, Colorado.
