This book is compiled on the basis of Geshe Jumpa Thinley’s comments to the root text of Chekawa Yeshe Dorje “The Seven Meanings of Mind Training” (Moscow, Omsk), as well as lectures on Lojong given over the years in Moscow, Ufa, Ulan-Ude. Lojong , training the mind, is the essential teaching of the Mahayana. It is no coincidence that the practice of the Great Vehicle is called in the book “the path of happiness” - following this path, a person learns to create in his mind the deep causes of happiness, as well as transform his own perception of externally unfavorable circumstances. In ancient times, the Lojong teaching was passed on only to selected students, since the actual practice of training The mind is complex - it requires great courage, determination and a deep understanding of the Buddhist Dharma. However, these comments were given to a fairly wide range of listeners. Here the practice of Lojong is presented by the author in accordance with the level and mentality of his Russian students - so that those who want to follow the spiritual path today can apply these instructions in their daily lives. This and other books, as well as recordings of the teachings, you can download on the official website of Geshe Jampa Tinley: HOW TO HANDLE BUDDHIST BOOKS MIDharma - The Teachings of Buddha is a sacred medicine that helps both you and others to get rid of from suffering.
