Transforming Problems
Discovering Buddhism module 11
Margo van Greta
From 18 January 2017
How can we make good use of our problems? In this module we will consider well the disadvantages of self-cherishing and the advantages of cherishing others more than ourselves. Learn how to employ the special techniques of mind training or “lo-jong” as a means to transform problems into happiness and learn to like problems as much as ice cream.
The course is based on the "Eight Verses of Thought Transformation" by Langri Tangpa .
We will use a combination of teaching, meditation and discussions. You will get access to the online audio teachings and PDF transcript, a review quiz to check your understanding.
