Lojong is a set of profound practices that help us to clear our hearts and minds of selfishness and delusion. In this 2-day workshop, Geshe Yeshe Thabkhe explains these practices on the basis of the text “7-Point Mind Training.
Geshe Rinpoche’s gifts were recognized early in life. A genuine contemplative master and member of the last generation extensively trained in old Tibet, he is a Professor of Mool Shastra (Nalanda Tradition of Buddhist Philosophy) at the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, the only Tibetan university in India.
He is regarded as one of the most eminent scholars of both the Madhyamaka tradition and Indian Buddhist studies. As one of the greatest learned scholars of Drepung Loseling Monastery, he facilitated completion of numerous research works, including a complete translation of Lama Tsongkhapa’s Lam Rim Chen Mo, or Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment.
