Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

In this new online course from Thupten Jinpa, translator for the Dalai Lama, discover a simple, clear, and inspiring structure for the path to liberation.

• Learn how to turn any experience into support for your awakening.
• Discover the inspiration and the tools you need to uproot self-cherishing and self-attachment.
• Experience a radical transformation of your thoughts, attitudes, and habits as you cultivate your awakening mind.

This is mind training, or lojong. "We feel hurt when someone insults us, disappointed when someone we love betrays us, outraged when provoked for no reason, pangs of jealousy when others are successful, all because of deep-seated self-cherishing. It is self-cherishing that opens us to these painful and undesirable experiences. So the mind training teachings admonish us to 'Banish all blames to the single source. Toward all beings contemplate their kindness.'" —Thupten Jinpa in the preface to Mind Training: The Great Collection.
