“The Eight Verses of Mind Training” (Tib. Lojong Tsiggyema) is a quintessential set of instructions for training in compassion and wisdom, compiled by the Tibetan master Langri Thangpa. One of the original sources for the powerful practice of “giving and taking”, or tonglen, this text is often used as the basis for daily training, and, when studied in detail, can even be said to encompass the entire Buddhist path. In this 2-hour session held on the day of Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and passing (according to the Buddhist calendar), Michael Lobsang Tenpa will explain how to use this text for greater happiness and wellbeing.

Michael Lobsang Tenpa (he/they) is a Tibetan Buddhist translator, meditation instructor, Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) teacher and student of EcoDharma. Born in Siberia, he earned BA and MA degrees in South Asian studies, worked in social media and eventually received ordination in Nepal, spending nine years as a Tibetan Buddhist monastic before switching to the path of a lay teacher/practitioner. In addition to years of Buddhist studies and translator work, he also trained as a secular ethics and mindfulness instructor in the Netherlands, the UK and the US.
