It has been a pleasure spending the last 108 Days

It has been a pleasure spending the last 108 Days practicing the Lojong slogans with you all. Even though our challenge is over, I hope that you continue to integrate the slogan into your daily practice.

"The scope of the Atisha fifty-nine slogans is extensive, and they can be applied to many levels of our activity. They provide guidelines for meditation, but their real focus is on relationships of all kinds: with the earth, with our fellow humans, with our colleagues, with our closest friends, with our enemies." - Judy Lief

Through the merit of this heartfelt aspiration to practise the seven points of mind training, the heart-essence of the incomparable Jowo Atiśa and his heirs, may all beings attain the level of perfect awakening.

When we render a service to others we may not hope

When we render a service to others we may not hope for a reward as gross as money, or a favor in return, or a state of indebtedness; but we may still linger after the deed is done, as if we have one thread attached, wanting some acknowledgment, some show of gratitude. This is hardly a malignant attitude, and it certainly is very human. But we can do even better. Let the act of kindness be so pure that we derive full satisfaction from the engagement of the deed. And not just eighty percent satisfaction with twenty percent lingering in hopes of gratitude! Pure service simply reaches out without expecting return." - B. Alan Wallace

"We don’t need to display every passing emotion,

"We don’t need to display every passing emotion, as if some kind of drama were going on every minute of the day. That approach is often confusing for other people. This Tibetan phrase literally means “letting everybody know whatever emotion we are feeling.” We don’t have to make every emotion blatantly obvious, like actors on a daytime soap opera. Most of the thoughts and emotions that take place in our minds are temporary anyway and don’t endure for very long. If we express these to others, it’s easy for them to draw the conclusion that we’re a certain type of person when that’s far from the truth. We need to show integrity and dignity and refrain from acting out like narcissists or drama-queens. That kind of behavior is anathema to the lojong spirit and makes it extremely difficult for us to train our minds. Whether we feel happy or sad, we should be as even-tempered as possible, not suppressing our emotions but presenting a consistent demeanor so that others will welcome any help we have to offer." - Traleg Kyabgon

"If it happens that we are slighted in public, we

"If it happens that we are slighted in public, we should never think to ourselves that despite the fact that we are such good practitioners, people have no regard for us and do not come to pay respects or to receive our blessings. We should not react with annoyance and harsh words. At the moment, because we have not used the teachings as an antidote for ego clinging, our patience and forbearance are more fragile than a blister and we are as irritable as a bear with a sore head. All that because we have failed to use the instructions as an antidote." - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
