Loving Kindness, Compassion, and Bodhicitta
2007-03-31 00:00 - 2007-04-01 00:00
ìWe begin the spiritual path by cultivating a strong mind wishing to achieve enlightenment for the sake of others; that mind is bodhicitta. Without it – all meditation practices are futile; with it- the eventual attainment of enlightenment is certain. The only way to develop loving-kindness, compassion, and bodhicitta is through deep concern for sentient beings; if they did not exist, love would remain a mystery. Thus, it is clear that oneís own enlightenment depends on other sentient beings; without them to cherish, one can make no progress on the path.î
– Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche
After an absence of almost five years, Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche will be returning to his students in Tucson. It is very rare to meet a Lama with such extensive training in Buddhist philosophy and such profound meditation experience. In addition, Rinpoche’s complete fluency in English makes him exceptionally capable of communicating the profound meaning of the teachings.

This teaching spans two consecutive weekends: February 17/18, and 24/25. This text (known as lo jong in Tibetan) discusses mind training, and arrived in Tibet in the eleventh century. One of hundreds of instructions brought to Tibet by Atisha, this particular text was compiled by his student who condensed it into the present form of seven points. The seven chapters consist of preliminaries, the main practice, how to carry the practice on to the path, the practice of mind training in daily life, the evaluation of mind training, commitment of mind training, and the guidelines of mind training.
