Past March Lecture: Pain and Compassion by Pema Chödron Part 2

Pain and Compassion

The Root Text of the Seven Points of Training the Mind is a pithy summary instruction on the view and practical application of Mahayana Buddhism. The slogans are a practical and earthy way of reversing our ego-clinging and of cultivating tenderness and compassion.  They provide a method for training our minds through formal meditation practice, and using the events of every day life as a means for awakening.
Meditation instruction for Tonglen will be given, and discussion on the Tonglen slogans will be shared.
