When we meditate\\, we become keenly aware of ou r thoughts\\, feelings\\, and emotions\\, and see how they influence our moment-to-moment experience of our lives.\\nBut sometimes we feel overwhe lmed by our thoughts and feelings\\, leaving us with the impression that our thoughts and feelings are “out of control” and beyond our ability to engage and work with them.\\nWouldn’t it be wonderful if we could f ind a technique to help us work with our thoughts and see them in perspec tive?\\nMore than 2500 years ago\\, the Buddha Shakyamuni said that love and compassion were “the way” –\\; the way to work with emotions \\, feelings and even thoughts themselves.\\nThis new monthly Sunday sess ion will focus on Lojong –\\; a Tibetan word meaning “Mind Trainin g\\,” –\\; that teaches us how to meditate on love and compassion and begin changing our minds from within –\\; from the heart.\\nWe w ill meet monthly on Second Sundays after the regular Sunday Dharma Talk t o learn about compassion meditation and practice it together.\\nSpecial L ojong prayers and meditation periods will be interspersed with advice abo ut how to use the principles of love and compassion in everyday life.\\nY ou can join the class at any time\\; we hope to develop a small community of practitioners dedicated to living out the principles of Lojong in the ir daily lives and supporting each other in their practice.\\nhttps://www .gayout.com/usa-canada/united-states/columbus/events/lojong-lojong-practi ce-and-study-group-2027-04-11 LOCATION:columbusktc.org URL:https://www.gayout.com/usa-canada/united-states/columbus/events/lojong-lojong-practice-and-study-group-2027-04-11 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
