And Other Lojong Teachings on Awakening Compassion and Fearlessness
For centuries Tibetan Buddhists have employed a collection of pithy, penetrating slogans to help them develop equanimity, intelligence, and compassion amid the turbulence of daily life. This book presents this transformative spiritual practice (called lojong in Tibetan) in a way that readers of any background can understand and put to use.
Each lojong slogan is followed by Pema Chödrön’s fresh, succinct, and inspiring commentary on how to understand and apply the maxim in everyday living.
Also included is a 45-minute audio program entitled “Opening the Heart,” in which the author offers in-depth instruction on tonglen meditation practice (“taking in and sending out”), a powerful practice that anyone can undertake to awaken compassion for oneself and others.

Becoming a Child of the Buddhas: A Simple Clarification of the Root Verses of Seven Point Mind Training
By: Gomo Tulku
|
Our Price: $12.95
Members Price: $11.66
|
|
|
The real reason behind all our problem is that we have not been taking care of our own mind, declares Gomo Tulku in this book about Tibetan Buddhist mind training ( lo jong). He shows us how the three mental poisons of attachment, hatred, and ignorance dominate our thinking and behavior even in the most subtle of ways. Through his commentary on a famous ancient text, he shows us how to look inward for the causes and cures of daily hardship and adversity. Becoming a Child of the Buddhas contains a fresh translation of one of the best known and studied Buddhist texts, Seven Points of Mind Training. Gomo Tulku's commentary provides a detailed description of how to put these mind training techniques into practice by developing mental qualities that will bring peace of mind in any circumstances.

A Commentary on the Seven Points of Mind Training
The Seven Points of Mind Training is one of the most popular and widely practiced trainings in all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. This practice comes from the Indian tradition of Kadampa monks. In the Kagyu lineage it was transmitted through Gampopa, who was a Kadampa monk before becoming the principal disciple of Milarepa and who then went on to found the Kagyu School in Tibet.

Buddhism with an Attitude: The Tibetan Seven-Point Mind-Training

All of us have attitudes. Some of them accord with reality and serve us well throughout the course of our lives. Others are out of alignment with reality and cause us problems. Tibetan Buddhist practice isn't just sitting in silent meditation, it is also developing fresh attitudes that align our minds with reality. Attitudes need adjusting, just like a spinal column that has been knocked out of alignment.

Buddhism with an Attitude: The Tibetan Seven-Point Mind-Training

The Tibetan word lojong is made up of two parts: "lo" means attitude, mind, intelligence, and perspective; and "jong" means to train, purify, remedy, and clear away. So the word "lojong" could literally be translated as attitudinal training, but in this book it is called mind-training.

This small, accessible book contains the essence of the Seven-Point Mind training, expressed in the intimate, colloquial style that distinguishes Ringu Tulku’s teachings. The Seven-Point Mind Training, a lojong practice, assumes no prior special training or preparation. It does not require practioners to enter seclusion or change the way they live their lives. It asks that they examine their relationships with all those around them, and to make a strong determination to become enlightened for others’ sake rather than for their own. It gives instructions for tonglen, a breathing practice that ties the concepts of lojong to the physical act of breathing. Mind Training focuses simply on giving up self-cherishing and transforming self-centered thinking into compassion, egoistic feelings into altruism, desire into acceptance, and resentment into joy

The mind training teachings are a great vehicle instruction, because they are mostly concerned with developing the awakening mind, the altruistic mind of enlightenment. They are directed primarily towards the practitioner of great capacity, and deal essentially with transforming our mental attitudes.
One special feature of the mind training teachings is the advice to transform adversity into advantage. So, not only do these instructions help us open out towards other beings, but they also help us transform whatever difficulties come our way into something valuable.

Compiled in the fifteenth century, Mind Training: The Great Collection is the earliest anthology of a special genre of Tibetan literature known as "mind training," or lojong in Tibetan. The principal focus of these texts is the systematic cultivation of such altruistic thoughts and emotions as compassion, love, forbearance, and perseverance. The mind-training teachings are highly revered by the Tibetan people for their pragmatism and down-to-earth advice on coping with the various challenges and hardships that unavoidably characterize everyday human existence.The volume contains forty-four individual texts, including the most important works of the mind training cycle, such as Serlingpa''s well-known Levelling out All Preconceptions, Atisa's Bodhisattva's Jewel Garland, Langri Thangpa's Eight Verses on Training the Mind, and Chekawa's Seven-Point Mind Training together with the earliest commentaries on these seminal texts. An accurate and lyrical translation of these texts, many of which are in metered verse, marks an important contribution to the world''s literary heritage, enriching its spiritual resources.

Parting from the Four Attachments: A Commentary on Jetsun Drakpa Gyaltsen's Song of Experience on Mind Training and the View
By: Chogye Trichen Rinpoche
|
Our Price: $15.95
Members Price: $14.36

|

The teaching on Parting from the Four Attachments is universally regarded as one of the jewels of Tibetan Buddhism. In the present commentary, Chogye Trichen Rinpoche lays bare the signs of authentic Dharma practice, while pointing out the pitfalls practitioners inevitably stray into, showing how these faults may be rectified through the development of proper motivation. Great emphasis is placed on developing a depth of feeling toward the faults of samsara, as well the heartfelt love and compassion necessary to truly give rise to altruism. Unfolding the essential points for the practice of each stage of mind training according to the Mahayana Buddhist teachings, Rinpoche leads his listeners into a detailed and lucid discussion of the genuine view of the true nature of mind. Finally, we are introduced to the unity of clarity and emptiness, the recognition of primordial wisdom, known as Mahamudra, the Great Perfection, and, in the Sakya tradition, as the Inseparability of Samsara and Nirvana (Khordey Yermay.)

This is one of the finest books ever published on the Kadam tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, whose basic program of "mind training" (lojong) was adopted or adapted by every other Tibetan order. The two long poems translated here, attributed to Atisa's guru, Dharmaraksita, are among the oldest and most dramatic of the mind training texts, woven as they are of startling imagery and a quintessentially Tibetan admixture of sutra and tantra practices, as well as conventional and ultimate perspectives on the world.

Seven Points of Mind Training
By: Thrangu Rinpoche

Our Price: $18.95

The essence of all the teachings taught by the Lord Buddha concern taming one’s mind, the point being to return the mind to its natural state of freedom which is endowed with limitless qualities. The realization of this natural state gives rise to spontaneous compassion that is limitless and impartial. This is “awakening mind” or “ultimate bodhichitta.”
The Seven Points of Mind Training, compiled in pithy points and slogans, is one of the most well known, profound and traditional practices and text’s to develop bodhichitta.
Here, Khabje Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, with great compassion, clarity and simplicity illuminates the profound meaning and methods of these teachings so they can become a part of our daily life and practice.

Seven-Point Mind Training

In this society with its hurly-burly pace demanding of our time, it is ever so easy to let life slip by. The process of simply existing is not necessarily meaningful. And yet, there is an unlimited potential for meaning and value in this human existence. The Seven-Point Mind Training is to make the liberating passage from the constricting solitude of self-centeredness to the warm kinship with others which occurs with the cultivation of cherishing others even more than oneself.
This mind training technique is especially well-suited for an active life. It does not require that we withdraw into seclusion, but that we re-examine all of our relationships - to family, friends, enemies, and strangers - and gradually transform our responses to whatever life throws our way.
