EIGHT VERSES FOR TRAINING THE MIND BY LANGRI TANGPA
Composed by the Buddhist Master Langri Tangpa (1054-1123), Eight Verses for Training the
Mind is a highly-revered text from the Mahayana Lojong (mind training) tradition. These
instructions offer essential practices for cultivating the awakening mind of compassion and
wisdom.
This eight-verse Lojong enshrines the very heart of Dharma. By way of these treasured
practices we eliminate our competitive, selfish, and reactive nature, as well as our false and
exaggerated concepts of self (also called self-grasping and self-cherishing). Therefore, these
precious lojong practices can purify our misperceptions and delusions completely, revealing
our true nature. H.H. the Dalai Lama refers to this work as one of the main sources of his own
inspiration and includes it in his daily meditations.
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo is a renowned Buddhist teacher,

INTO THE HEART OF LIFE......... HOW TO PUT BUDDHA DHARMA INTO PRACTICAL USE
“Initially it was very difficult to know how to begin raising interest and funds for a
nunnery. I am not an incarnate Rinpoche or even a Tibetan. In addition, I have a
female body within a patriarchal tradition. Since I could not bestow empowerments
or blessings, what might I offer that could be useful? So I began to deliver Dharma
talks, sharing the experience of spiritual practice with audiences made up
predominantly of lay people with families, jobs, and a regular social life. This is
very different from the times when Dharma was mainly delivered to monastic
gatherings. As I travel around the world, my concern has always been, How can the
Dharma be of help to people in everyday life? How can the Dharma be used to
lighten our lives and give meaning to our existence?”
- Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Into the Heart of Life, 2011

Bodhicharyavatara By Shantideva
!
Way of the Bodhisattva
Classic text by a
Scholar from Nalanda University
YEAR 1 OF A MULTI-YEAR TEACHING SERIES BY DZONGSAR KHYENTSE RINPOCHE
Shantideva was an 8th-century Indian Buddhist master, who hailed from Kathiawada in
Gujarat. He was a renowned scholar and adept at Nalanda University and an adherent of
Prasangika Madhyamaka philosophy.
His classic text Bodhicaryavatara (The Way of the Bodhisattva) has been studied, practiced, and
expounded upon in an unbroken tradition for centuries, first in India and later in Tibet. It
explains Mahayana Buddhism’s ‘view’ and various practical methods to realize the Bodhisattva
Ideal. H.H. Dalai Lama has said, 'If I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of
the Bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it.’
The reference book for these teachings will be The Way of the Bodhisattva by Shantideva translated by the
Padmakara Translation Group, published by Shambhala.
