Mind Training

blo sbyong

The lojong texts: short, memorisable instructions for turning an ordinary day into practice, from the Eight Verses to the Seven Points.

This page is a placeholder. It exists so that the structure does; the text will follow, and will be checked by a teacher of the field before it is called finished.

Mind training is the practical literature of the inner science: instructions short enough to memorise and plain enough to use. Langri Thangpa’s Eight Verses and Geshe Chekawa’s Seven Points, both from the Kadampa teachers of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, are the best known. They are read here as a tradition’s account of how to live with other people, with sources named.

The pages here will present the principal texts with their commentaries.
