The Mind Training (Lojong) teachings are essential pith instructions enabling us to use the difficult life situations we face as opportunities to develop our minds. By applying these teachings in daily life, obstacles can become catalysts for spiritual growth and realization. In the text of The Seven Point Lojong, Geshe Chekawa composed fifty-nine beautifully challenging slogans that are transformative when put into practice.

In addition, on each Sunday Geshe Sonam will continue to introduce one or two verses from Lama Tsongkhapa’s Text In Praise of Dependent Arising, which explains the union of emptiness and dependent arising.

Our programs are given freely, and we also rely on your generosity – this is the traditional and pure way of the Buddha Dharma. Offering support for the Dharma can be a limitlessly powerful act. This is the highest, most long-term form of generosity, which is to share with others the path to full awakening. When we support the Dharma we create causes for us to encounter the Dharma frequently, and we create the merit to be able to easily integrate the teachings in our minds. Offering support deepens our connection to Dharma teachers and connects us as a community.
