Sharing Space

This Autumn we're looking at the mind-training, or lojong slogans, which are the pith instructions of Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje (1101–1175) and are a distillation of the earlier teachings from Atisha. The 59 slogans are collected in the 'Seven Points of Mindtraining Text'.

You can download the PDF of the Tibetan and English translation by Adam Pearcey (2012):

(Lotsawa House is, by the way, an incredible resource for Tibetan texts )

There are numerous commentaries on the lojong slogans.

That has been a super quick month in the sense that it is time to book for Alistair’s classes.

Hoping everyone had a pleasant relaxing summer. 💐

Hello, dear Mindspringers. I would like to share my joy with you! Today is the birthday of the light of my eyes, my dear son Wynston. Here is a photo of Wyn, just a wee baby and newly home from the hospital, peeking out at the world. He has done so well in his 32 years, but most importantly, Wynston is a good, caring and kind human being. When I meditate on love and gratitude, it is always with my son in mind. Hugs to you all!

Hello dear Mindspringers! Here is a brief and beautiful teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh with the title: "Why We Shouldn't Be Afraid of Suffering".

It folllows up, I think, on what we have been discussing in our Mindsprings sessions about suffering.

I miss you all, and am missing our beloved teacher Alistair! Wishing you all peace and freedom! Fran xx
