Training the Mind: Lojong and Mindfulness

Lojong, an ancient approach for training the mind, is a relational practice in which we cultivate a wise, humble, and loving approach to life. This online course is a practical guide to lojong training.

At the heart of this course is a key Buddhist text, Eight Verses of Mind Training. Over six weeks, Scott Tusa will unpack the profound wisdom within this short text, which is considered to be a complete resource for a compassionate and awakened life.
