For the most part, we rely on outer circumstances and acquiring the relative or “worldly” hallmarks that are supposed to provide that happiness. However, our circumstances are always changing and there is no guarantee of sustaining a happiness that relies on external causes and conditions.If we are willing to dig deeper and turn our search inward, using the mind training practice of Lojong, we begin to recognize our mind’s capacity for joy even in the face of ever-changing and potentially adverse circumstances. Through Lojong practice we can deconstruct the misleading habitual patterns that distort our perception of where true happiness can be found.The natural, unhindered state of the mind is joyful. It is always seeking this natural state — whether we are feeling elevated or depressed. When we work towards recognizing the natural state of mind that is not dependent on the temporary highs and lows of outer conditions, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and the true nature of our mind.In this two-day, in-person and online program, Dungse Jampal Norbu continues his ongoing exploration of the Lojong Slogans as a means to settle the mind and build the determination to rise above habitual obstacles in the pursuit of happiness.This program will be held in-person at Pema Osel. It will also be streamed live by Wisdom Productions. The weekend will include three talks, along with Q&A with Dungse Jampal Norbu. Meditation sessions and a discussion group will be hosted in-person and on Zoom and led by senior Mangala Shri Bhuti students. If you are not able to watch in real time, video recordings of the talks will be available for viewing for one month after the event. You can also purchase recordings of Dungse Jampal Norbu’s 2021, 2022, and/or 2023 Lojong programs at Wisdom Productions or check out his podcast EveryBodhi, which addresses the lojong slogans in a series of interviews with friends and practitioners.
