Applied Dharma
Our community in discussion
Applied Dharma is an opportunity to get to know others and connect with the community through small-group conversations about the Dharma.
We meet online on the first Wednesday of each month. Anyone is welcome to join at any session.
Lojong and Mind Training
Our gatherings explore the Tibetan teachings known as lojong, or mind training, using Pema Chödrön’s commentary.
Pema’s commentary is based on the classical Tibetan text The Root Text of the Seven Points of Training the Mind by Chekawa Yeshe Dorje. Her teacher, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, inspired both her writing and the creation of the Compassion Cards used as a resource for these discussions.
Tim has taught these slogans several times in recent years. Applied Dharma gives us an opportunity to practice with them and explore their meaning together.
Questions and Reminders
Questions may be directed to Susan Barrett, the Applied Dharma host and a BCSS council member.
