the tibetan tradition of mind transformation

Learn the Tibetan tradition of creating a stable, relaxed state of mind, and a feeling of inner happiness. This workshop is a chance to learn this tradition from a Tibetan lama and recognised incarnation.
Lo stands for thoughts and feelings. Jong means training. Lo Jong, or mind training, transforms our thoughts, emotions and feelings: its practice create a stable, relaxed state of mind, and a feeling of inner happiness.

The basic practice of Lo Jong is to change our perspective - we deal with the same thoughts, yet the nature of the thought changes.

As soon as an unpleasant feeling or thoughts of suffering arise, Lo Jong teaches us to act. With a kind of neutral feeling, we try to investigate and understand these unpleasant thoughts and bring a change in our way of thinking.

All human beings long for happiness and freedom from suffering. Yet, because we do not know a good way to hold on to a peaceful state of mind we experience suffering.

So, no matter what our background or social status may be, it is important to have an understanding of Lo Jong and apply it in our daily life.

Buddha taught that, in the degenerated type of world we have today, Lo Jong would be very effective for a great number of sentient beings and help them through these difficult times.

Lama Lobsang is an expert in Tibetan medicine and astrology. He was born in 1975 into a farming family in northeastern Tibet. Many reincarnated lamas have been born into this family.
Aged 6, he entered the local Buddhist monastic school and at 11 went to the Nangzi Bon Monastery, where an oracle named him as a reincarnation of the Nyentse Lama, the spiritual and temporal head of the Nyentse lineage and lama of 13 monasteries. At 13, Lama Lobsang was enthroned as the 8th incarnation of Tulku Nyentse.

At 17, he left his country for south India to deepen his knowledge of classical Buddhist texts. Five years later, he went to Dharamsala to pass the Tibetan cultural heritage to Tibetans and westerners. Since 2000, Lama Lobsang has been travelling internationally, teaching, lecturing and giving consultations. In 2002 he established a new Tibetan medical college in Minali, India. He is renowned for his unusual expertise in the art of healing and Tibetan medical science, his Buddhist knowledge and wisdom, and his compassionate way of teaching. www.nangtenmenlang.org
