On Lojong: Mind Training
A one-day retreat with the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi
Saturday, March 18, 2017
Santa Barbara, California
This retreat is based on the text, The Seven Points of Mind Training, which summarizes the lojong teachings originally brought to Tibet by Lord Atisha. These teachings train one to refine and purify motivations and attitudes to deepen the practice of bodhichitta in everyday life. Although first written down by Geshe Chekawa in the 12th century, the advice in the text is still as relevant and practical today for navigating the challenges of our contemporary world.
“The central themes of the lojong teachings include, amongst others, the enhancement of compassion, the cultivation of balanced attitudes towards self and others, the development of positive ways of thinking and the transformation of adverse situations into conditions favorable to spiritual development.” His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Bodhimarga one-day retreats generally consist of teachings, prayers, meditation, tea/lunch breaks and time for Q & A. Chairs (and a few cushions for floor seating) are available, but feel free to bring your own cushions, too. Community lunch will be provided.
