"I recommend tonglen practice to all those who have ever felt the pain of being an outcast. There were some days when I breathed nothing but tonglen all day because I was in so much pain. And yet, this practice of taking on the pain of others, of identifying with where they felt pain, it took me out of my sense of being alone. It took me out of my sense of specialness and entitlement and victimhood, and instead, helped me understand that every human being, on some level, had known the pain that I was going through. I wasn't an outcast. I was a human being having a very human experience."

Very wise words..........When you know other ppls pain "I mean really know it" you lose your anger......and entitlement and victimhood....

When my kids were young and upset or worryed. I would tell them to stand still. I would put my hand on thier forheads and tell them I was taking thier worrys or pain for the day. That I would keep "the worrys and pain" safe for the day.That they could have it back at the end of the day if they needed it.
