Enlightened Courage: Vital Instructions for the Cultivation of Awakened Heart


Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche

Weekend Wisdom Intensive | Live Online & In-Person

The Buddhist teachings identify bodhicitta, “awakened heart,” as the key to awakening one’s fundamental sanity and enlightened nature. It is the cause for being able to fearlessly and genuinely help others and contribute to the world’s well-being. The teachings of The Seven Point Mind Training (Lojong) comprise the principal instructions on how to arouse one’s bodhicitta and enact compassion, penetrating intelligence, and consummate skillful ability in the world. Atisha Dipankara was the 11th Century historical source of these teachings in Tibet, bringing them from Indonesia and India. They form part of the basic foundation, heart, and motivating force of Mahayana Buddhism.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, widely regarded as one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of our times, transmitted these seminal teachings in the book Enlightened Courage (Snow Lion Publications, 2006). His grandson and spiritual heir, Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, will impart these vital instructions and practices in this seminar. These teachings and practices are all the more relevant and essential during intense social, political, and environmental turbulence.
