The genre of “lojong”, which literally means “training the mind” or “transforming the mind”, originated in eleventh century Tibet when it was introduced by the great master Lama Atisha.
Once kept secret, they are widely available nowadays. These practical teachings work as powerful antidotes to undesired mental habits and attitudes that result in dissatisfaction and relationship problems. It can be said that the real focus of lojong teachings is the relationships that we have: with our families, friends, colleagues, enemies, and the world at large.
Tengyur Rinpoche will teach a course on the classical lojong text, “Seven-point mind training” by the 12th century Tibetan master Geshe Chekawa.
