Finding Balance: Lama Tsomo on Wisdom and Compassion in Tibetan Buddhism
“Tranquil Abiding helps us calm the waters of the mind, allowing us to experience truth more clearly. Through connecting with others, as a compassionate act, Tonglen helps us feel how we’re not separate from the rest of the ocean.”
Ever feel like your mind is a stormy sea, tossing you around with thoughts and emotions? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Lama Tsomo to discuss the harmonious dance between wisdom and compassion in Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Tsomo, a spiritual teacher and author, shares her journey and insights from her book 'Wisdom & Compassion: Starting with Yourself'.
She delves into the practices of Tranquil Abiding and Tonglen, explaining how these methods can help calm the mind and open the heart. Tranquil Abiding, she says, is like stilling the waters of the mind to see clearly, while Tonglen is about connecting deeply with others through compassion. Lama Tsomo's words offer a gentle reminder that we are not separate from the world around us; we're all part of the same ocean.
