Mind Training – Lojong
Seven Points of Mind Training
Attributed to the great teacher Atisha (11th century) and arranged by the Tibetan master Geshe Chekawa, this lojong text presents a perfectly structured system, combining profound insight with very practical advice on putting compassion into practice and transforming our mind.
The 59 ‘aphorisms’ or ‘slogans’, listed under 7 points, are far from being just general guidelines; in fact, they deal with everyday life in a combination of pragmatism and sagacity, developing the wisdom and skilful means of the Mahayana, qualities necessary for travelling on the path.
