Open Talk w/Geshe Ngawang Dakpa in Campbell
Saturdays, February 13th, March 20th & April 17th 3-6pm (with a break)
This Seven-point Mind Training (Tib: Lo-jong Don-dun) is a classical Tibetan
text written by Geshe Chekawa (12th Century, C.E.) based on an oral tradition,
tracing back to the Indian Buddhist master Atisha, on how to develop
bodhichitta, the special attitude of a bodhisattva. Geshe Dakpa will take
the next three months (one Saturday per month) to cover this topic. All
are welcome to attend.
The seven points are:
1. Explaining the preliminaries as a basis for the practice.
2. The actual practice, training in the awakening mind (bodhichitta).
3. Transforming adverse circumstances into the path to enlightenment.
4. The integrated practice of a single lifetime.
5. The measure of having trained the mind.
6. The commitments of mind training.
7. The precepts of mind training.
