Lojong, or “Mind Training,” is a Buddhist system of powerful, sometimes paradoxical, methods through which we can transform anger, attachment and confusion into compassion, generosity and wisdom—the qualities of an enlightened mind. Centuries old, it is nonetheless easy to apply to the daily situations of our modern lives, and is highly suitable as a secular path for those interested in bringing greater meaning and happiness to their lives and relationships.


The course will be taught twice a month on Zoom for seven sessions to cover the seven steps of mind training. In each session, teacher Khenpo Tshering Chophel will explain one of the steps, and provide time for questions and contemplation of the teachings. Between sessions, students will be asked to practice what they have learned. Khenpo Chophel and other teachers will be available for individual discussion in between classes if desired.
