Lojong – Mind Training in Seven Points

Gelek Rimpoche will often say he is happy to share what little he knows in order to “help ease our pain, relax our anxieties, reduce our anger and attachment, and build a little wisdom.”
With that in mind, we are delighted to bring to you this great master known for his compassionate wisdom and endearing wit. Don’t be surprised to find yourself returning home with treasures for further reflection as well as tips to put to immediate use in your everyday world and relationships!
