LOJONG/TRAINING OF THE MIND – TEACHINGS, part 2

“The Brightly Shining Sun” A Step-by-Step Guide to Meditation on the Bodhicaryavatara, by Patrul Rinpoche, part 2
Lojong, or mind training, is a core practice in all the lineages of the Tibetan tradition. They can perhaps best be characterized as a method for transforming our mind by turning away from self-centeredness and cultivating instead the mental habits that generate bodhicitta, the awakened mind that puts the benefit of others above all else. The practice of lojong is therefore presented as a method to shift our attitude away from our problems, anxieties, hopes, and fears toward an expansive sense of joy and well-being that springs from the very essence of Mahayana—bodhichitta.

THE PRAYER OF SAMANTABHADRA

The Samantabhadra prayer is one of the most important Buddhist prayers, also called ‘The King of Prayers’. Reciting this prayer allows one to accumulate infinite merit, not only for oneself, but especially for others, and is therefore traditionally recited for the dead or for those in particularly difficult situations. It is also the main prayer recited during the 10 days of Universal Prayers for Peace (Monlam) in which monks and nuns from all Tibetan schools participate every year.

This year, from 30th July to 1st August, the second Sakya Monlam in Europe will take place in Paris, which will be guided by Their Holinesses the Sakya Trizin (41st, 42nd and 43rd) and H.E. Asanga Rinpoche, and many great Sakya masters will arrive for the occasion.

The three turnings of the Dharma wheel.
Part 1: Free yourself from samsara

To guide his disciples towards liberation and enlightenment, the Buddha gave a wide range of teachings tailored to their individual needs and abilities. These teachings were then grouped into three classes of teachings called the three turnings of the Dharma wheel, each turning revealing another essential dimension of the path. We will address each of these teachings during the summer seminars of the next three years (2022-2024),

2022 : The three turnings of the Dharma wheel.
Part 1: Free yourself from samsara

With the first turning of the Dharma wheel, the main subject of the Buddha’s teaching concern the Four Noble Truths. This teaching is the foundation of the entire system of Buddhist thought and practice of all traditions and lineages. During this seminar, this topic will be supported by a reading of the “Setting in motion of the Dharma Wheel Sutra”, and will explore important related aspects of the Abhidharma teachings.

Les trente-sept pratiques des Bodhisattvas.

Intervenant : Marie Madeleine Schmitt.

« Les 37 pratiques des Bodhisattvas » est un texte qui a été écrit au XIV ème siècle par Gyelsé Thogmé Zangpo afin de nous faire avancer vers une ouverture du cœur et de l’esprit. C’est  un enseignement très pratique et très profond. Il rassemble les instructions permettant de développer les qualités des Bodhisattvas. Ces instructions peuvent nous servir d’exemples et nous orientent vers l’aspiration authentique à réaliser le bonheur des autres. Il est important d’avoir une bonne compréhension de ce qui est enseigné, d’en saisir le sens profond et d’enrichir ainsi notre propre expérience. Cet enseignement nous aide à faire naître en nous une attitude plus juste, induisant une action correcte, et c’est ainsi que l’on pourra avancer pas à pas sur le chemin des Bodhisattvas.
