Mind training, or lojong (བློ་སྦྱོང་), is an accessible Tibetan Buddhist practice that reshapes ingrained mental habits through familiarization and purification. This tradition provides straightforward, uncompromising instructions for everyday application, enabling students to eliminate ego-driven tendencies while nurturing kindness and empathy. Using concise and practical sayings or slogans, this approach fosters the compassionate spirit of bodhicitta. Some of the great texts associated with the Lojong (blo sbyong) tradition are Geshe Langri Thangpa's Eight Verses for Training the Mind, Geshe Chekawa's Seven Points of Mind Training, Dharmarakṣita's The Wheel of Sharp Weapons, and Thokme Zangpo's The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva.
