108 Day Bodhisattva Challenge
January 1, 2021 @ 7:45 pm - 9:00 pm
This challenge will be practice intensive for those who want to apply their understanding of Bodhicitta with daily practice. We welcome new students who are looking to learn about the Bodhisattva Mind Training and how to apply it to their Buddhist path, as well as experienced students who have insights to share.
The main topic for the challenge will be The Seven Points of Mind Training by Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje. The Seven Points of Mind Training belong to the category of teachings known in Tibetan as lojong, or in English ‘mind training or transforming the mind’.
“The essential message of the lojong teaching is that if we want to see a better world, we should begin by improving our own mind. For me, the lojong tradition stands as the heart of the Buddha’s message of peace. It teaches us how to regard others with the dignity and care that they deserve, and also how to transcend the limitations of conventional ego-grasping. In brief, it is a guideline for our own enlightenment, leading to enlightened conduct in our own dealings with others.” – H.H. Dalai Lama XIV
Kick off party for the 108 Day Bodhisattva Challenge is Friday January 1, 2020 at 7:45 and will be online.
