Gaden Choling deeply appreciates Ven. Zasep Tulku Rinpoche for the guidance that he offers with this teaching.
​
Lo Jong or training the mind is a method used to overcome our normal self centeredness and cultivating a mind of bodhichitta, the mind wishing to gain enlightenment for the benefit of others. Tong Len literally means taking and giving and is the practice of mentally taking on the suffering of others and giving our happiness and virtue through a special meditation on the breath. These practices train us on the Mahayana path.
