Geshe Tenzin Zopa is offering a new online course on mind training (lojong) organized by FPMT Australia.
The course began on Sunday, May 10, 2020. I don't know the course end date.
The Schedule
Class is held every Sunday.
Class begins at 12:00 AM PT and ends at approximately 2:00 AM PT.
If the timing doesn't work for you then don't worry. A recording of each livestream will be shared on YouTube.
The Topic
Geshe Tenzin Zopa will provide a commentary on the Collection of Mind Training teachings (lojong teachings).
The recommended book, which is optional for the course, is Mind Training: The Great Collection, translated by Geshe Thupten Jinpa.
The Wisdom website says, "Compiled in the fifteenth century, Mind Training: The Great Collection is the earliest anthology of a special genre of Tibetan literature known as “mind training,” or lojong in Tibetan. The principal focus of these texts is the systematic cultivation of such altruistic thoughts and emotions as compassion, love, forbearance, and perseverance.
"... The volume contains forty-four individual texts, including the most important works of the mind training cycle, such as Serlingpa’s well-known Leveling Out All Preconceptions, Atisha’s Bodhisattva’s Jewel Garland, Langri Thangpa’s Eight Verses on Training the Mind, and Chekawa’s Seven-Point Mind Training together with the earliest commentaries on these seminal texts."
More Recordings
A search for "Geshe Tenzin Zopa" on YouTube will pull up a lot of videos. Here are a few videos recorded since the pandemic began.
Watch Geshe Tenzin Zopa teach a series of five classes on the Shantideva FPMT-Israel YouTube channel. The first two recordings are teachings on tonglen. The last three recordings are on mind training (lojong) based on Geshe Langri Tangpa's text Eight Verses of Thought Transformation.
"Geshe Tenzin Zopa was born in 1972 in the Tsum Valley in Nepal and is a Tibetan Buddhist monk of the Mahayana tradition. He is known by the title Geshe, which is Tibetan for professor of Buddhist philosophy. He entered Sera Jey University in 1990 to undertake extensive studies in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and graduated as a Geshe in 2007.
"The highly esteemed late Geshe Lama Konchok became Geshe Tenzin Zopa’s spiritual and temporal guardian when Geshe Tenzin Zopa was three. From that time Geshe Lama Konchok gave Geshe Tenzin Zopa commentaries on various important Buddhist sutra and tantra texts. Geshe Tenzin Zopa became Geshe Lama Konchok’s closest disciple and was his assistant and translator until his teacher’s death in 2001. The multi award-winning documentary Unmistaken Child covers his search over 5 years for the recognised reincarnation of his late master."
