Wisdom and Compassion: The Seven Point Mind Training
October 23 – 31, 2016
A 9-day Residential Intermediate-Level Course. Led by Glen Svensson.
Wisdom and compassion are equally essential in the pursuit of genuine happiness. The practice of lojong or “mind training” enables us to fully develop both of these qualities, to awaken our mind and to open our heart.
Using Geshe Chekawa’s classic text, the Seven-Point Mind Training, this course will present methods for cultivating both wisdom (ultimate bodhicitta) and compassion (conventional bodhicitta). In addition, this course will also focus on how to transform problems into opportunities for spiritual awakening and how to integrate all the various practices into our daily life along with extensive practical advice.
