Bringing Mind Training to Life

Shamar Rinpoche’s engaging and lively exploration of the frequently stud-ied Buddhist subject called lojong, or mind training. Rinpoche based his discussion on a classic text by the eminent 16th century Buddhist teacher, the 5th Shamarpa called A Concise Lojong Manual. With Shamar Rinpoche’s explanations, the material is made especially relevant and applicable for our modern-day lives. Nowadays, who wouldn’t want to learn how to use difficult circumstances to develop a more awakened perspective? Shamar Rinpoche gave these teachings at a program less than two weeks before his passing. The presentation reflects the richness of the author’s life as a Buddhist master of his stature—a rare offering from which we can all benefit.
