Daily Wisdom from the Dalai Lama

Part V: Transforming The Mind

The Eight Verses in Transforming the Mind if one of the most important texts from a genre of Tibetan spiritual writings known as the lo-jong, literally ‘transforming the mind,’ Written by the eleventh-century Tibetan master Langri Thangpa, this short work is one of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s main sources of inspiration.

Central themes of the lo-jong teachings include, amongst others, the enhancement of compassion, the cultivation of balanced attitudes toward self and others, the development of positive ways of thinking, and the transformation of adverse situations into conditions favorable to spiritual development.”
