Demo Rinpoche - 2022 Summer Retreat - Wheel of Sharp Weapons

Composed by Dharmarakshita, this ancient Indian Buddhist practice of lojong or Mind Training includes powerful methods to cut through self-cherishing and self-grasping and thus remove the obstacles to attaining full enlightenment.

The Wheel of Sharp Weapons mind training practice was bestowed on Atisha by one of his gurus of the mind training practices, Dharma Rakshita. Although there are some other mind training teachings of Dharma Rakshita, this mind training is most commonly practiced and well known. The Wheel of Sharp Weapons is easy to understand and very practical in our daily life. This teaching helps us to find faults inside ourselves and then outside, and also provides solutions for them. Many eastern and western practitioners are very happy with this teaching, and this summer retreat will be very interesting and helpful.
