This session invites you to imagine your ultimate potential as the person you would become at the very end of your spiritual journey. You explore what it feels like to inhabit a perfected body and mind, seeing the world through the eyes of someone who has completed their inner work in an ultimate way. As you rest in this vision, you get to experience a sense of the compassion and wisdom that your “future you” will embody.

This meditation is an incredibly vivid variation on tonglen that begins with a visualization of changing colors and shifting shapes. You take on the role of a cool rain cloud which eases the suffering of beings in the hot realms, slowly turning their world into a place of relief, comfort, and safety. The visualization expands into becoming everything they need to rediscover their own goodness. As the scene dissolves into a tiny paradise at your own heart, the practice leaves you with a quiet sense of joy and the reminder that compassion has the power to transform your world from the inside out.

This session is a gentle rejoicing practice that guides you to recall something kind that you’ve done in the last several days and to really feel the impact it had on someone else. As you imagine their relief, your own heart naturally opens and becomes lighter. This meditation helps you settle into a grounded sense of joy that comes from seeing the good you’ve created in the world. It closes with a sense of clarity and uplift, reminding you that rejoicing is one of the quickest ways to strengthen your practice and stabilize your mind.

This meditation is an intricate tonglen practice that guides you through a compassionate exchange with someone whose suffering you wish to remove. After visualizing their physical and mental pain as black smoke, it is gathered into a small orb at their heart. You recognize and destroy your own self-cherishing by pulling that orb into a flame at your heart, transforming everything into pure light. The practice expands outward to all beings, filling the world and the universe with compassion and wisdom.

This meditation invites us to open our hearts to someone who is struggling and truly feel our wish for them to be free of pain. As we hold this person in mind, we imagine gathering their suffering into a single point which can be drawn out with intention and destroyed using the compassion we hold within us. This act of taking and transforming pain plants powerful seeds of love that are capable of changing our experience of the world around us. This practice leaves us with a deep sense of connection, joy, and confidence in our capacity to affect the world with goodness.

This self-directed tonglen meditation helps us dissolve negative emotions into feelings of freedom and peace. We watch the emotion gather into a small dark marble sitting at heart level as we prepare the energy to be reshaped. A diamond resting within a rose appears at the heart center which represents the compassion and wisdom already within us. By practicing this transformation of pain we are able to plant the seeds to meet tomorrow’s emotions with confidence and certainty.

Meditations on the Diamond Cutter Sutra guides the practitioner through classical methods for developing deep concentration. It is a progressive training in stillness, breath, and visualization. Each session builds gradually, helping the student develop a steady mind, a grounded sense of self, and the ability to connect with their highest potential.

This meditation offers a short but powerful practice that begins with steadying the breath and inviting the presence of a teacher for support. The meditator then looks ahead to the coming day, identifying a likely emotional challenge and visualizing their future self experiencing it. Using a gentle form of tonglen, they draw in the imagined distress, dissolve it with inner clarity, and breathe out the opposite quality. This strengthens awareness, encourages confidence in facing difficulties, and plants the seeds for a more compassionate response later in the day and ease.

In this session, we move through two “backtracking” meditations where we trace an item backwards through time to see if we can find where it actually came from. First, we choose something simple and physical—like a piece of fruit, a drink, clothing, or our house—and imagine the process it took to get to us: the person who handed it to us, store workers, truck drivers, farmers, factory workers, and even the people who invented the tools, money, and systems that made it possible, step by step, using this gratitude to realize how much of our life is a gift from others. The second meditation turns inward: we backtrack through the sequence of thoughts that led us to this very moment—tracing our mind-stream through memories of Dharma, college, school, childhood, even infancy, and gradually toward earlier lives. This gentle but powerful exercise of following our thoughts backward becomes a deep training for seeing emptiness, helping us feel that our awareness has a long, unbroken history and that every good idea we have now comes from seeds we planted long ago.

This 10-part meditation series introduces you to the transformative practice of emptiness meditation. Based on the classical text *Emptiness Meditations: Learning How to See That Nothing Is Itself* by Choney Lama Drakpa Shedrup, it weaves timeless wisdom with modern relevance. You’ll explore how misunderstandings about the self and the world create suffering—and how clear insight opens the door to freedom and authentic joy. Through the combined practice of focus (shamatha) and insight (vipashyana), you refine your perception, uncover inner obstacles, and cultivate an attitude that supports well-being and positive change.

This session begins with an extended breathing practice which creates a steady inner rhythm and naturally supports concentration. As the mind settles, the meditation shifts into a traditional ‘JOG SGOM (a single-pointed meditation) on a sacred figure that we feel close to. We cultivate this presence within our mental stream until they become crystal clear and fully present. We allow their clarity and compassion to fill the space around us until the figure gradually softens into light and comes to rest within our heart.

This meditation invites us to imagine the reality of our future self and explore what it would feel like to inhabit an enlightened body and mind. As the visualization develops, we learn to “step inside” this future version of ourselves and experience the world through their eyes. Through this practice we begin to understand how a fully awakened being would see, feel, and relate to others with unconditional love. By rehearsing this series of thoughts we start to realize that this future self is not only possible, but already growing within us.

In this meditation we imagine arriving at the bedside of someone we love near the end of their life, in order to guide them in the process of moving forward. We learn to speak to them about the good deeds they’ve done, helping their heart to recall the memories that bring them peace and confidence for their journey. After they transition, we continue the connection by speaking to them warmly and strengthening the bond that goes beyond physical form. This practice becomes a practical training in compassion that we can actually use; it shows us how to stay steady, loving, and clear when others may need us the most.

Finding a Teacher You Can Trust is an exploration of how our choice in a guide can ultimately shape the way we think, speak, and act. Through visualizations inspired by traditional imagery, we reflect on the qualities of a teacher whose wisdom and goodness help to awaken the best parts of ourselves. The student comes out according to the mold, so whether we turn out to be more or less blessed with virtues depends on the degree to which our lama possesses high personal qualities themselves. Each session highlights how our thoughts, words, and actions create the world we experience, and how a genuine teacher helps to plant the seeds for a more enjoyable and compassionate life.

The Real Causes for Everything is a series of short meditations that guides the practitioner to understand their life as the continually ripening result of their own past thoughts, words, and actions. Each meditation uses simple reflections on special objects, moments of beauty, or the stream of one’s own past and future selves to reveal the deeper karmic forces that shape our daily experience. As the sessions progress, the meditator learns to see their world not as random or external, but as something arising from inner causes that they themselves have planted. This perspective naturally builds a sense of personal responsibility for creating our own future happiness and trains the mind to recognize karmic correlations directly. This empowers the meditator to change any aspect of their life through the power of intention.

Protection from Life (and Death) is a profound teaching which leads the practitioner through a progressive journey of recognizing how everything that we experience arises from seeds in the mind. Through contemplations on death, dissolution, refuge, rebirth, karma, and the presence of the teacher, we learn to see even the most intense inner experiences with clarity and potential. Along the way, compassion deepens naturally as we witness the suffering of beings in different realms and the immense potential within ourselves to transform those conditions. Together, these meditations train the practitioner to recognize the mind’s power, to cultivate joy as the basis for insight, and to move toward the identity of someone who can help countless beings.

Developing Bodhicitta is a set of meditations that uses beautiful and uplifting imagery to help the practitioner understand and internalize the power of bodhicitta—the wish to become enlightened for the benefit of all beings. Through various contemplations such as joining a spiritual team, graduating, being welcomed, offering protection, and spreading light, the meditator absorbs the feeling of belonging to a vast family of compassionate beings. Each visualization builds confidence that anyone, no matter their imperfections, can step onto the bodhisattva path and take on a new and meaningful identity rooted in love. These practices also expand the imagination outward and guide the mind to care for countless beings across countless worlds, which plants the seeds of universal responsibility. Together, these sessions train the heart to recognize its own limitless potential and to radiate goodness into every part of our daily lives.

Inspired by the ancient tradition passed down from Maitreya to Arya Asanga, this Lion’s Dance meditation series is a playful and profound look into the understanding of how our mind projects every experience we have through the lens of our past deeds. Geshe Michael moves us through subtle states of awareness using crisp visualizations while we explore how all perceptions are shaped by the opening of karmic seeds within our own mind.

This practice helps us to develop a deep heart connection with the people we look up to the most. By using their best qualities as a mirror for growth, we can learn to activate the stores of goodness contained within ourselves in order to transform our experience of the world. Through deep reflection—and an honest look at our own habits—we begin to revise our belief that anything could ever exist from its own side, including the people that inspire us most.
