Description
Learning to think and act with the mind of an altruistic being is the subject of the text “The Seven Points of Mind Training” (Lojong in Tibetan) and of our next Intensive for both the Dharma and Wisdom Paths. These mind trainings comprise 59 pithy, easily memorized 'maxims' that focus on how the Awakened Mind of an enlightened being can beneficially manifest in all activities of our daily lives. When we learn how an enlightened being perceives all situations, our ability to meet life with intelligence, selflessness, lovingkindness, compassion and understanding is profoundly enhanced. In this Intensive, participants will be guided in understanding these maxims and how to practice them.
