'The Seven Points of Mind Training’ by Geshe Se Chilbupa

A textual teaching by Lama Jampa Thaye

The system of meditation practice, known as mind training or lobjong in Tibetan is one of the most popular and widely-practised in Buddhism. Codified by the 12th century master, Geshe Chekawa, it contains the Mahayana methods for transforming ordinary consciousness into the mind of enlightenment. At its heart is the practice of ‘Sending and Taking’, which is often referred to as, ‘the secret teaching of the Great Vehicle’.

This commentary by Geshe Se Chilbupa, one of Geshe Chekawa’s direct disciples, is detailed whilst also being easy to understand. This will be a unique opportunity to receive this rarely bestowed teaching which Lama Jampa himself has never given before.

The teaching is being given in three parts and this one is the second of three. The third and final part will be on Saturday 3rd October 2009. All sessions are open both to those completely new to Buddhism and to more experienced practitioners alike.
