Introduction to Bodhichitta (2 sessions)
followed by The Eight Verses for Training the Mind (10 sessions)

These two modules are based on video selections of recent teachings by
Sogyal Rinpoche and Patrick Gaffney on compassion, bodhichitta, and the
Eight Verses for Training the Mind. They show the importance and logic
of compassion, give an overview of bodhichitta, "the heart of the
enlightened mind," and begin a step-by-step training in the compassion
practices.

Sogyal Rinpoche encourages all of his students, regardless of where
they are on their spiritual path, to enter into the study and practice
of Lojong, "training or transforming the mind," and especially the
Eight Verses for Training the Mind, as the main method for transforming
our minds through love and compassion, particularly in terms of
integration in daily life.

Introduction to Bodhichitta and the Eight Verses for Training the Mind
