The blessings of mind training - theory and practice - at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling

Over the weekend of 10th and 11th August, Lama Jampa completed his second summer teaching at Karmapa's European seat in the Dordogne, France.  Lama Jampa taught two Mind Training teachings: Geshe Langri Thangpa's Eight Verses of Mind Training, which gives methods for revealing the vast compassion and profound wisdom of enlightened mind, and Chim Namka Drak's Mind Training in a Single Session, which introduces specific advice on how to practise these methods in a meditation session. 

The course was attended by around sixty people, who greatly appreciated Lama Jampa's clear and detailed explanation of not only the methods of Mind Training itself, but also the history and significance of these teachings. Lama Jampa emphasised how, if practised properly, the Mind Training can bring great joyful lightness to our lives.
