The power of Tonglen



meditaid.net connects people all over the world to practice Tonglen meditation, provides insights about this practice and bundles the meditative energy for maximum impact.
This website was born on January 6th 2026.
Knowing that there’s a Fourth King in each and every one of us.
The power of many:
Daily practice
The main purpose of this platform is to provide a frame for everybody who would like to make an impact with their Tonglen practice.
Because if many people perform the same meditation at the same time, the transformational power multiplies.
So here’s the frame
– In your timezone, try to practice at 08:00 am and/or at 08:00 pm.
– If any other time works better for you, try to start your practice at any full hour.
– Meditate once or twice or several times a day.
– Inhale any form of pain, despair or suffering you’re aware of. Your own, a friend’s, a family member’s… And as this is about all sentient beings: don’t forget about animals. Then exhale well-being, happiness, hope…
– Include the monthly focus topic as often as possible.
– One minute already counts. Five are very valuable. Fifteen are amazing.
– Try to find a „quiet“ place. Closing your eyes while waiting for the bus is all that it takes to start…
– If you feel like you need some healing yourself first – follow this feeling and start with performing the Tonglen for yourself. If taking care of yourself is all you’re able to do at that moment – that’s a big deal already. Don’t feel guilty that there was no more energy for others. Actually never feel guilty. Ever.
– It’s that easy. Now start.

Monthly focus
All the time, all over the world, there is unlimited suffering.
But every now and then, there’s a tragedy that stands out.
From these tragedies, we choose a monthly focus.
Please include this in your daily practice. Thank you.
One-time contributions made in the respective month will
be used to support good causes linked to the focus topic.
Refer to „Support the cause“ below.
January 2026:
All who suffer from the New Year fire disaster in Crans-Montana, Switzerland.
Deceased.
Wounded.
Traumatized.
Inhale pain, wounding, despair.
Exhale well-being, healing, confidence.

Combine your heart energy with the global Tonglen community
Apart from the daily practice and monthly focus topics, additional global Tonglen meditations will be announced here.
Everybody will perform the same energy transformation on the same topic at the same time.
What an incredible healing power!
Contact us with your ideas and inspirations. (Topics must be impartial, apolitical, irreligious and must support sentient beings.)

Global Tonglen: Suffering from fire
When: Sunday, January 25th 2026, 08:00 am + 08:00 pm UTC+0
We inhale the pain and despair of all humans and animals which are or were suffering from fire. Disasters, arson, bush fires, slash-and-burn, forest fires, household accidents… Please include the victims of our monthly focus topic in your meditation. Thank you.
We exhale healing, well-being, confidence and hope.

Global Tonglen: Victims of armed conflict & Peace
When: Sunday, February 22nd 2026, 08:00 am + 08:00 pm UTC+0
We inhale the physical and mental suffering of all people who are affected by armed conflict anywhere in this world. This includes everyone who suffers, no matter which role they play in that conflict. Even more: By explicitly including the destructive emotions of the main actors we create space for peace.
Focus on a conflict close to you or several or simply all (as there are plenty, maybe you’d rather want to visualize a suffering world instead).
We exhale well-being, healing, hope and peace.
