we get an encouraging introduction to what the seven-point mind training has to offer anyone interested in learning to work more effectively to lessen suffering (our own and other people’s). Yashobodhi’s experience with this material shines through – as does the practical joy of engaging in this way.<\/p>\n A lovely, down-to-earth guide to helping us get started – with a look at the preliminary practices and the “Four Reminders”<\/strong><\/a> as the first point to consider.<\/p>\n To help you engage more fully with the week it is worth spending a bit of time reflecting on what you would like to get out of it and then make a clear and realistic intention for the week. This will help you stay focused when life becomes busy or your motivation starts flagging!<\/p>\n It can be useful to think in terms of a general vision, then breaking it down into achievable targets (such as meditating every day, checking in with a friend etc) but also considering things that are likely to prevent you from sticking to your intention – and what you can do to prevent this.

learning to work more effectively to lessen suffering (our own and other people’s). Yashobodhi’s experience with this material shines through – as does the practical joy of engaging in this way.<\/p>\n A lovely, down-to-earth guide to helping us get started – with a look at the preliminary practices and the “Four Reminders”<\/strong><\/a> as the first point to consider.<\/p>\n To help you engage more fully with the week it is worth spending a bit of time reflecting on what you would like to get out of it and then make a clear and realistic intention for the week. This will help you stay focused when life becomes busy or your motivation starts flagging!<\/p>\n It can be useful to think in terms of a general vision, then breaking it down into achievable targets (such as meditating every day, checking in with a friend etc) but also considering things that are likely to prevent you from sticking to your intention – and what you can do to prevent this.

overview of the Bodhichitta<\/em> (the deep, realised wish for all to attain liberation of heart and mind) in Buddhist tradition. Most importantly, we discover its relevance to everyday practice in the crucial work of learning to work with our minds and becoming a happier person.<\/p>\n After a general introduction, Yashobodhi draws out the “absolute” aspect of this work, examining how reflection on insubstantiality \u2013 that nothing can be truly said to have an irreducible essence \u2013 is a gateway to freedom when undertaken in the right conditions.<\/p>\n She then explores the “relative” aspect of this same work where the focus in on compassion practice \u2013 for ourselves and for all beings. This essential insight work is located within the Tonglen<\/em> (“sending and receiving via the breath”) meditation, to which we are also introduced.<\/p>\n Returning to the image of the the Buddha when Mara attacks him with all the weapons he can muster: the Buddha sits in complete peace and openness; the arrows from his opponents drift down around him as flower\u00a0petals. So\u00a0you may wish to dwell with that image while chanting the mantra of the historical Buddha – the Shakyamuni\u00a0mantra.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here is a selection of versions for you to listen to:\u00a0the Shakyamuni mantra<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Join us on Saturday May 23 for a live Tonglen meditation with Yashobodhi<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Listen to some talks on the Four Reminders<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Listen to Eight Verses for Training the Mind<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Introducing today’s practice and further resources” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#747474″ open_icon_color=”#747474″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Day 2 slogans & meditation reflection” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”#000000″ title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_link_font=”||||on|||#747474|” body_link_text_color=”#747474″ max_width=”1170px” module_alignment=”center” border_color_all=”#747474″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n You may wish to consider making a bit of time for more intensive practice (this could happen later in the week if there\u2019s another day that works better for you).<\/p>\n So for example, you could set aside the day or morning for meditation practice and\/or reflection on the Seven-Point Mind-Turning Reflections (lojong) <\/em>below.<\/em><\/p>\n If you are new to meditation you can find some useful introductions to meditation and\u00a0led meditations on Free Buddhist Audio<\/a><\/strong>, as well as some notes on meditation posture<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you have more time and would like to do further explorations on the theme you could check some of these out:<\/p>\n Listen to some talks on the 4 Reminders<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Eight Verses for Training the Mind<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Lojong slogans for this retreat (click to read)” open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#747474″ open_icon_color=”#747474″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Day 2 Slogans” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”#000000″ title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_link_font=”||||on|||#747474|” body_link_text_color=”#747474″ max_width=”1170px” module_alignment=”center” border_color_all=”#747474″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 1: First Train in the Preliminaries<\/p>\n Absolute Bodhichitta<\/strong> 11: When the world is filled with evil, transform all mishaps into the path of bodhi 17: Practice the five strengths, the condensed heart instructions 19: All dharma agrees at one point 23: Always abide by the three basic principles 24: Change your attitude, but remain natural 25: Don’t talk about injured limbs 39.
