- Atisha's The Bodhisattva's Jewel GarlandOcean of Compassion Buddhist Center, Campbell, CA
Join us as we explore the profound teachings of Lama Atisha (980–1054), a highly revered Buddhist master from Bengal, India. Renowned for his wisdom and compassion, Atisha played a pivotal role in revitalizing Buddhism in Tibet. His teachings, emphasizing the cultivation of compassion and the path to enlightenment, laid the foundation for Tibetan Buddhist traditions, particularly through his seminal text "The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment."
Lojong, or mind training, is a Tibetan Buddhist practice focused on cultivating compassion and wisdom through meditation techniques and thought transformation. Atisha’s The Bodhisattva's Jewel Garland is a key text within the Lojong tradition, offering practical guidance on developing bodhicitta—the altruistic intention to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. Atisha’s teachings in this text emphasize the importance of selflessness and positive mental attitudes, making it essential for those engaged in mind training practices. The principles in this work help practitioners transform their minds, enabling them to face life's challenges with equanimity and compassion.
Happiness and suffering come from your own mind, not from outside. Your own mind is the cause of happiness; your own mind is the cause of suffering. To obtain happiness and pacify suffering, you have to work within your own mind.
— Lama Zopa Rinpoche
This course is ideal for individuals who:
- Are familiar with the Stages of the Path (Lamrim) teachings, as presented in the Discovering Buddhism program (completion of all modules is not required).
- Have an interest in using classic Lojong texts to inspire and deepen their own mind-training practice.
