Awakening Wisdom & Compassion with Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche

The practice of lojong, or mind training, is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist means to generate compassion and loosen the fixation of ego.

According to the Buddhist tradition our basic being is joyful, open, and compassionate. But how do we access these inherent qualities? In this rare weekend with renowned master Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche we will learn practical means for training our mind through the practice of lojong, or “mind training.” This practice consists of contemplating a series of profound yet accessible slogans which undercut our self-centered orientations and expose our open, boundless hearts. Training in these slogans has a direct impact on our everyday lives, giving us the strength to be courageously loving in a world so in need of our help. Both new and long-time practitioners are welcome.
