Synopsis of the Topic:

Our thoughts at present are dominantly self – centered, and we tend to look at the world around us through the perspective of this fundamentally erroneous concept. We want to know how to stop this poison from spreading from within us and destroying us? The Eight Verses of Mind Training is a renowned text by the 11th century Kadampa master Geshe Langri Thangpa who teaches us different techniques on just exactly how to do that. In just eight powerful verses, this teaching leads students into the remarkable bodhisattva path. During this Three Day Intense Course from 3rd to 5th August, 2012, participants are required to not only learn, but also try the techniques outlined in this remarkable teaching. Sharing one’s experiences and being interactive during the classes is recommended. Information on the Geshe Langri Tangpa are easily available in all major search engines.
