Eight Verses For Training the Mind

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.
