Cultivating Compassion through the Seven Points of Mind Training with Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche

A Practical Guide to Being Kind

Tuesday evenings, omitting the second Tuesday of each month
Held in-person only (not online) at the Melbourne Centre: 803 Nicholson St, Nth Carlton

 

A thousand years ago, a humble Tibetan monk, Geshe Chekhawa, summarised the Tibetan Buddhist guidelines for living a compassionate life into seven key points, known as the Seven Points of Mind training. For generations, his pithy slogans have laid the way for students to nurture their own compassionate nature and put it into action in everyday life.
In a world where acts of unkindness, large and small, can leave us in despair and feeling powerless these teachings offer a vital practical antidote.

Cultivating Compassion will present teachings on the Seven Points recently given by Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche 
Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche is one of the outstanding meditation teachers of our time. She is known for her penetrating wisdom and humour, conveying the Buddhist teachings in a concise and lively manner, enriched with personal anecdotes, which are of particular relevance to the everyday life of the modern, fast-paced world.

This program assumes some familiarity with meditation and the Buddhist understanding of interdependence.
