Chekawa's Seven-Point Mind Training with Serkong Tsenshab Rinpoche!Mind training is a theme of Mahayana teachings that the very essence of the Dharma path is to transform one's attitude from instinctive self-cherishing to genuinely always putting others first, and that there are no actual obstacles to practice, as every difficulty can be viewed with the right perspective as a blessing and a boost to one's practice. Intellectually these teachings are very easy to understand, but we all know that's not easy to do. Thus, mind training is considered the quintessence of the path to Buddhahood.
Seven-Point Mind Training is one of the most influential works of mind training composed in Tibet. This very succinct text was composed by Chekawa Yeshe Dorje (1101–1175) according to the Kadampa tradition of Atisha Dīpaṃkara. Through such texts, Atisha's teachings suffused throughout all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism to come down to us today.
The seven points cover:
preliminaries
main practice
transformation of adversity
life-long application of the practice
measures of progress
commitments
precepts.
Format of the course will incorporate:
Dharma teachings
group discussions
yoga sessions, and
guided meditations.
Teacher
