Training the Mind
In this busy world, just being Mindful makes it easier to savour the pleasures in life as they occur, helps us become fully engaged in activities, and creates a greater capacity to deal with regular chaos.
According to Geshe Lobsang, former Tibetan mink, there are nine stages that the mind can be trained to be a perfect mindful. In this workshop Geshe will use a Tibetan Traditional Mindfulness Thangka painting to show the mindfulness process.
This illustration is thousands of years old, and traditionally it is used for mindfulness meditation training in Tibetan monasteries.
