Mind training (Lojong)

From Practice, path, goal

I first encountered the seven point Mind Training in Ken McLeod’s translation of The Great Path of Awakening by Jamgon Kongtrul, when I was meeting with Ken in his office in 1991. Then in 2002, while attending our first teaching with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, held at the Shambhala center in West Hollywood,  I stepped into the restroom and was surprised to see a large beautiful poster on the wall with all 59 slogans in a calligraphic font. I found the poster online and put it up on the wall of our bathroom at home. I found all the translations and commentaries available in paperback and the set of 59 cards with a little holder to display the current practice slogan.
