Ken Bradford: Training the mind in loving kindness: Relative Bodhicitta, Part 1
Foundational to the path of the Bodhisattva is lojong practice: training the mind by reining in reactive thinking, cutting through ego & cultivating loving-kindness. On the basis of cultivating humility and gentleness toward ourself, we can extend that dignity, open heartfulness and kindness to others. This is the 1st of a 2 part series focusing on relative - relational - bodhicitta.
This evening will address Slogans 7 – 18. We will not cover every slogan, but will focus on those of particular concern for participants. So bring your questions and concerns!
