We continue our discussion of Anam Thubten's The Magic of Awareness. Also, we are pleased to announce that Ven. Amy Miller will teach a seminar series on Lojong over three nights this spring. Entitled Awakening the Warrior Within: Lojong and How It Inspires Everyday Enlightened Engagement, this series will explore how Lojong or “mind training” teaches us how to transform problems into opportunities for spiritual growth. This insightful workshop can lend support to life’s greatest challenges. Discussion will focus on the famous lojong prayer, The Eight Verses of Mind Training by Geshe Langri Thangpa and Master Atisha’s 59 slogans will be included as a blueprint for practicing the bodhisattva path along with tonglen meditation. Open to all levels although some Buddhist background is helpful.
