Transform life's difficult moments into opportunities for growth with this clear and direct guide to Tibetan lojong , or mind training. Take the Tibetan Buddhist approach to mind training with lojong, a practice of simple contemplations and pithy "slogans" to train the mind in enlightened compassion, or bodhichitta . A centuries old, time-tested method, lojong remains readily applicable to daily life. One of the most essential lojong texts is The Seven Points of Mind Training , a series of slogans composed by Tibetan master Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje (1102-76). In this straightforward guide to The Seven Points , the renowned Buddhist teacher Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo unpacks each of Chekawa's lojong slogans and illuminates their relevance to modern life. Jetsunma's teachings will allow you to: Discover a wellspring of compassion to guide you in your daily life; Gain a new understanding on core Buddhist concepts like the preciousness of human life, impermanence, karma, and rebirth; Establish or develop a meditation practice for both tranquility and insight into the nature of mind; Work with the totality of your life as an opportunity for spiritual practice and growth--even the most difficult experiences of adversity, illness, and despair.
