Commentary on The Mind Training Induced by Way of Poem, A Perfect Composition of Words

With Geshe Ngawang Dakpa

March 8, 2025

**Presented via Zoom. Registration required.***

Saturday, March 8

Online only via zoom

Geshe Ngawang Dakpa will be giving a commentary on The Mind Training Induced by Way of Poem, A Perfect Composition of Words, composed by the great Je Tsongkhapa Lobsang Drakpa. This unique text, rarely taught in English, presents the core practices of Mahayana mind training or lo-jong (Tib. བློ་སྦྱོང་, Wyl. blo sbyong) via deeply poetic verses. The mind training texts present practices meant to develop compassion, altruistic intention, skillful means and to develop the perfect view of reality through deeply pithy instructions.

Ven. Stephen Carlier will provide English interpretation of Geshe Dakpa’s teaching, and the class will be hosted by Stephen Butler. This class is offered in collaboration with Land of Medicine Buddha.

Schedule:

February 22
March 8 & March 22
April 12 & April 26
May 10 & May 24
