Eight Verses for Training the Mind by Geshe Sonam Rinchen

How do we free ourselves from the demon of self-concern? These instructions are found in Eight Verses for Training the Mind, one of the most important texts from a genre of Tibetan spiritual writings known as lojong (literally "mind training"). The root text was written by the eleventh-century meditator Langritangpa. His Holiness the Dalai Lama refers to this work as one of the main sources of his own inspiration and includes it in his daily meditations.

Geshe Sonam Rinchen (1933-2013) acquired the Lharampa Geshe degree in 1980 after studying at Sera Je Monastery. He lectured on Buddhist philosophy and practice in the Tibetan Works and Archives Library in Dharamsala, India, and at dharma centers across the world.
