Eight Verses of Thought Transformation with Venerable Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Delek

 

 

Venerable Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Delek will be teaching on Lojong (mind training) techniques that enable us to focus on transforming problems into the path of awakening – ideal instructions for those wishing to integrate spiritual practice into the hectic pace of life in the 21st century.

The first seven verses of the Eight Verses of Thought Transformation deal with the practices associated with cultivating the method aspect of the path such as compassion, altruism, aspiration to attain buddhahood, and so on. The eighth verse deals with the practices that are directed toward cultivating the wisdom aspect of the path.

The Eight Verses of Thought Transformation was composed by Geshe Langri Tangpa (1054–1123). He is famed for the depth of his constant contemplation of the sufferings of all sentient beings, such that he would often be seen with tears rolling down his face.
