Applied Dharma is a wonderful opportunity to get to know others and connect with the community through small-group conversations about the Dharma.

We meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 5:30 PM MT for one hour on Zoom. Anyone is welcome to drop in at any time. Sign up below to receive the monthly reminder.

The topic for our gatherings will be the Tibetan slogans known as lojong (mind-training) teachings, 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, inspired both Pema's writings and the creation of the Compassion Cards, which will serve as a resource for our discussions.

Tim taught these slogans several times in recent years. This gathering offers a wonderful opportunity to practice and explore them together.

We recommend signing up for the monthly reminder (see below) so you receive the email with the monthly topic information.

How to Use Pema's Compassion Cards

Pema generally suggests randomly selecting a slogan each morning (or each month, as we will do for Applied Dharma) and applying its message to experiences that arise throughout the day. The intention is that this practice provides skillful guidance for responding to life's situations.
