Lama Palden Drolma joins Monique Chapman to talk about her new book Love on Every Breath: Tonglen Meditation for Transforming Pain into Joy
Love on Every Breath: Tonglen Meditation for Transforming Pain into Joy introduces readers to a profound, ancient meditation that has been practiced in isolated mountain retreats in the Himalayas for centuries, which is now available to the modern world.


This ancient Tibetan Buddist meditation combines breath, awareness, imagination, and an energetic transformation process. Lama Palden Drolma has been practicing Tonglen meditation for over forty years and teaching it over thirty. “The meditation brings all these components together in a powerful way in order to open our hearts, to reveal and cultivate our kindness, love, compassion, and wisdom.”

The complete “Love on Every Breath” meditation consists of eight steps and is done as a sitting practice that takes forty-five minutes to an hour from start to finish, but the practice is highly adaptable and can be done “on-the-spot” in daily life as well as on the cushion. Lama Palden Droma provides instructions for bothe in Love on Every Breath. She also provides a “non-Buddhist” variation for people from other traditions that can be easily adapted for the non-religious or for those of different religions.

The benefits of Tonglen Meditation

Author Mark Coleman talks about his new book From Suffering to Peace: The True Promise of Mindfulness

Like yoga and meditation before it, mindfulness seems to be having its moment in the spotlight. It has become the buzzword in everything from medicine, the military, and education, to sports, prisons, and therapy. This hype had reached the point where it is easy to lose sight of what it can actually offer.

When Buddha first taught mindfulness about 2600 years ago in North India, he likely had no idea how his teachings, which offered a vehicle for ending suffering and finding peace, would spread around the world in the twenty-first century. While the way of mindfulness is being taught and developed in therapy offices, hospitals, classrooms, and boardrooms may differ from the scope of his original intent, mindfulness practice today is transforming tens of millions of lives all over the world.


We Talk about

What are intuition and mindfulness
Embodies awareness
Meeting aging with kind awareness
Embracing death’s invitation
Releasing self-judgment
Mindfulness defined
Main benefits of mindfulness
The judging mind
The comparing mind
Freedom from attachment
The outcome of dissatisfaction
Sympathetic joy
Unconscious bias

Mark Coleman is the author of From Suffering to Peace, Make Peace with Your Mind, and Awake in the Wild. He is the founder of the Mindfulness Institute and has an MS in clinical psychology. Mark has guided students on five continents as a corporate consultant, counselor, meditation teacher, and wilderness guide. He lives in Northern California markcoleman.org
