| Turning Selfishness Inside Out - Jon Landaw
One of the most profound of all the meditations preserved in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition is known as "ton-len", often translated as "sending and receiving." It is an unequalled technique for replacing our deep-seated selfishness with genuine concern for the welfare of others. As such, it is a powerful method for developing the precious, compassionate "bodhicitta" motivation, the very heart of the Mahahyana path to Full Awakening.
