On April 24th, we begin exploring the lo-jong poem “Leveling Out All Conceptions” by Serlingpa. The first verse is:
Level out all [false] conceptions;
Carry forth the force of all antidotes;
Concentrate all aspirations into one;
And seek the path where all paths converge.
Mind Training is a translation of the Tibetan term Lo-jong (also call Thought Transformation) – a genre of Buddhist practice that aims to use problems as one’s path to enlightenment.
In these once-a-month meetings, Venerable Drimay will lead us in drawing from the abundant supply of Lo-jong literature to pull out techniques that will work for us in dealing with life’s problems. At first, you might be most interested in getting rid of your problems, but as your Mind Training skills improve, you will eventually look forward to problems as a chance to practice.
The book, Essential Mind Training, would be useful for you to have to follow along with these sessions. We have some copies in the Book Store at LMB. We will give you handouts of the particular text we are studying at any given time.
Come meet together with other brave people to discuss how to practice Mind Training and to report back from your real-life experience.
