Answer the following question

  1. Compassionate Visualization

Compare and contrast the meditation on Avalokiteshwara (McDonald pp. 155-160) with McDonald’s tonglen meditation (pp.116-121).  For the tonglen meditation, you should focus on “tonglen for another person’s problem” (pp. 120-21). What do the Avalokiteshwara and tonglen meditations have in common as Mahayana Buddhist practices?  How does each use visualization to bring the practitioner to a particular state of mind?  In what ways do the two practices and the states of mind they produce differ from each other? How might regular repetition of these practices transform the practitioner, if at all.
