Lojong or “mind training” is a profound part of Mahayana Buddhism that teaches us how to transform problems into opportunities for spiritual growth. Incorporating Chenrezig (the Buddha of Infinite Compassion) practice along with meditation on the famous lojong prayer, The Eight Verses of Mind Training by Geshe Langri Thangpa, this precious retreat experience can help lend support to life’s greatest challenges. Discussion and tonglen meditation will be included along with some exercises using Master Atisha’s 59 slogans. These different practices can serve as a powerful blueprint for practicing the bodhisattva path in the future.

The retreat is open to all levels and there is no prerequisite. Venerable Amy has a gift to make Buddhist teachings very practical and explain how to use them in daily life.
