Lojong Teachings

July 31 – August 1, 2010

Lojong means “mind training” and is the essence of the Mahayana teachings. The Lojong teachings form profound and effective practices for awakening wisdom and compassion. They teach us to use difficulties to awaken our hearts, and give us practical advice for transforming the hardships of life into aids on the path.

Sunday, August 1: 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm

$125 for two days.
