Class Description

Join us for an in-depth exploration of lojong, or mind training, starting May 19. Using the text The Power of Mind by Khentrul Lodro Thaye Rinpoche as our base, we will meet Tuesday evenings to practice and discuss the text.

​

These profound instructions from Atisha, compiled by Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje in the 12th century, are a fundamental practice designed to transform daily challenges into the spiritual path.

​

Each Tuesday evening session weaves together sitting practice, contemplation, and discussion. On Wednesdays, all are welcome to join The Wisdom Seat's regular meditation session for further practice and a brief discussion.

​

The class is designed in 5 sessions of 4-5 weeks, with a one-month break between sessions to allow you to work with the slogans and deepen your practice. It's recommended that you attend the entire program if possible, but if not, it's recommended that you attend each full session.

​

• Review sessions are held before each new session begins, so if you miss a stretch, you can always catch up and re-enter.

• All classes are recorded and posted to the class group.

• You can join at any time.

• The text: The Power of Mind: A Tibetan Monk's Guide to Finding Freedom in Every Challenge by Khentrul Lodrö Thayé Rinpoche

• Suggested donation of $20 per session. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
