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.
That’s why I chose the name “meditaid.net” – meditation that really helps, growing a net that covers the entire world – hopefully with many knots!
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.
Alternatively, the monthly focus can be inspired by special dates
or events involving people close to me.
Please include this in your Tonglen practice. Thank you.
Also feel invited to reach out if you’d like to submit an idea for a
monthly focus.
June 2026: Suffering related to Water
Less than half of all human beings live in an environment that holds “just the right amount” of water. According to the United Nations World Water Development Report 2026, as of 2024, 2.1 billion people still lacked safely managed drinking water while 3.4 billion people still lacked safely managed sanitation services and 1.7 billion lacked basic hygiene services at home. It also highlights the intensified occurrence and magni-tude of hydrometeorological hazards.
Thus, with summer peaking in the northern hemisphere, June is dedicated to all kinds of suffering around water – most prominently the lack or abundance of it: Droughts and flooding.
We inhale the all the suffering caused by (a lack of) water, water damage, water accumulation in the body (e.g. legs), illnesses caused by the consumption of contaminated water. Pain, despair, weakness, sickness, death.
We exhale sunshine or rain (as needed), well-being, health, confidence, strength, hope.
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!
