Seven Point Mind Training - Day 2

Where: Kadampa Center

Date: 2007-04-26 19:00:00

Type:

This is a special teaching by Chöden Rinpoche, one of the great living Tibetan masters of the Gelugpa lineage. Registration is required: http://www.kadampa-center.org/news/choden2007.php The Seven-Point Mind Training is a collection of brief, powerful mind training sayings grouped around seven points. They were written by Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje (1102-1176), an accomplished Kadampa master. Mind training, or in Tibetan blos.byong (pronounced lojong), is a genre of teachings that counter self cherishing attitudes and behaviors, and eventually lead to the determination to be enlightened for the sake of all sentient beings. When Chekawa read Langri Tangpa's Eight Verses, he was so moved by the fifth verse, especially the line that read, "give the victory to others," that he sought out Geshe Sharawa, a disciple of the author, to find out how to practice these words. The secret oral teachings Chekawa received from Geshe Sharawa are the foundation of the Seven-Point Mind Training. Mind training was originally a secret transmission, taught only to students who had a proven capacity and sincerity for practice. Geshe Chekawa popularized mind training through the Seven-Point Mind Training. All events at Kadampa Center are offered free of charge. Kadampa Center exists only through voluntary financial donations, as well as gifts of time, talent and energy.
