In this module we will explore the disadvantages of selfishness and the advantages of cherishing others.  We will learn to employ the special techniques of mind training (lojong) to transform problems into happiness and learn to like problems, as Lama Zopa Rinpoche says, "as much as ice cream."
Discovering Buddhism
Discovering Buddhism: Awakening the limitless potential of your mind, achieving all peace and happiness
Ven. Tenzin Legtsok
Born and raised in Hawaii, Venerable Tenzin Namjong studied philosophy at Princeton. His plan was to do a Ph.D. in philosophy, but he became disillusioned with academic philosophy because “it seemed to have lost the big picture, meaning how we should live our lives.”  In Buddhism, he found  a rich philosophical tradition that was still very much connected to how we ought to live. Venerable Namjong studied and trained in Zen and Theravada traditions before embracing the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, due mainly to the kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. He is currently studying in the Geshe study program at Sera Je Monastery in Bylakuppe, India.  Venerable Namjong is a registered teacher of the FPMT and teaches in FPMT Centers all over the world.


Our ability to continue offering these teachings is dependent on the generosity of donors.  We appreciate any donation and support for this class.  Thank you!
