Lojong, or “Mind Training” is a method of developing our innate compassion and wisdom. It has seven major points, articulated in 59 slogans. Working with each slogan, we cut through the self-clinging and false identity of ego to help us become Bodhisattvas, beings who are devoted to ending the suffering of all beings. In this brief introduction I will introduce and talk about the relationship between Lojong and the practice of Tonglen, highlight some of the slogans and give references for further study.
