Eight Verses of Training the Mind Teaching - Lojong Tsig Gye-ma

The Eight Verses of Training the Mind [Tibetan: Lo-jong Tsig Gye-ma], a classic text by Kadam Geshe Langri Thangpa, is a topic that His Holiness frequently chooses to teach.

Lojong (often translated into English as Mind Training) is a practice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on the Eight Verses formulated in Tibet by Geshe Langri Thangpa. Practitioners undertake to connect with the world in an unconditionally positive way, and also to take full responsibility for their experience of it. The practice involves redefining, reconceptualizing and reprogramming one's intent and way of thinking. The practice involves refining and purifying one's motivations and attitudes - hence "Mind Training".
