A Prominent Zen Teacher Offers A Direct, Penetrating, And Powerfulrdquo; Perspective On A Popular Mind Training Practice Of Tibetan Buddhism (rick Hanson, Author Of Buddharsquo;s Brain ) Lojong Is The Tibetan Buddhist Practice Of Working With Short Phrases (called Slogans ) To Generate Bodhichitta, The Heart And Mind Of Enlightened Compassion. With Roots Tracing Back To The 900 A.d., The Practice Has Gained More Western Adherents Over The Past Two Decades, Partly Due To The Influence Of American Buddhist Teachers Like Pema Chouml;drouml;n. Its Effectiveness And Accessibility Have Moved The Practice Out Of Its Buddhist Context And Into The Lives Of Non-buddhists Across The World.
