Description

Eight verses of mind-training by Geshe Langri Thangpa

Geshe Langri Thangpa’s work is one of the most celebrated spiritual teachings in Tibetan Buddhism. It belongs to a set of teachings known as Mind Training or Lojong, these were short pithy instructions which were usually given orally. Transmitted in Tibet by the great Atisha, these particular verses offer us a method for transforming adverse circumstances into positive aspects of the path of awakening compassion.

David Armstrong, Bristol Sakya Centre co-ordinator and long standing student of Lama Jampa Thaye, will lead this day-long course. The day will be divided into four one-hour sessions and David will use the commentary by Geshe Chekhawa as a basis for explaining and meditation on the verses.

This day will be ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the Mahayana Buddhist path by engaging with these profound mind training methods.

Please arrive by 9.45am for a 10.00am start and bring food for a shared lunch
Sessions 10.00-11.00, 11.30-12.30, 1.30-2.30, 3.00-4.00
