Lojong: The Tibetan Practice of Mind Training with John Blackburn

In Tibetan Buddhism the practices of Lojong  comprise a profound yet practical method for cultivating wisdom and compassion, the hallmarks of the awakened mind.  Lojong is a concise presentation of the entire path; it is said that when we practice this, we are practicing everything.  As a basic text we will use The Great Path of Awakening by Jamgon Kongtrul (Shambala 2005.)  Having a text is highly recommended but not a requirement for participating in the class.  Students may use a translation and commentary of their own choosing.

There is a suggested donation of $70.  This is a suggested donation; students are free to give any amount depending on their circumstances.
