Everyone is invited to the Open Path Class on Wednesday evenings, which focuses on the practice and study of Lojong -- mind training in Tibetan. This approach is centered around pithy mind training slogans that uncover our innate wisdom, and the meditation practice of Tonglen, which opens up our compassionate nature.

Each week, in the first part of the class, we explore the power and gentleness of Tonglen Meditation, which can be practiced on the street or on the meditation cushion. In second part of the class, we discuss one of the Lojong Slogans, and relate how the magic of a simple phrase generates such compassion, awareness and humor.

The class is structured so that we can come once or many times and in no particular order and still take a valuable bit of the practice with us back into the world. Lojong is so accessible that it can be realized on the spot and is so potent that the taste of awakened heart stays with us for a long time.

Schedule: 7:30 p.m. (after group meditation) each Wednesday.
