About the Text
Eight Verses for Training the Mind is a famous text from the Mahayana Lojong (mind training) tradition. These instructions offer essential practices for cultivating the awakening mind of compassion, wisdom, and love. This eight-verse lojong enshrines the very heart of Dharma, revealing the true essence of the Mahayana path to liberation. Even a single line of this practice can be seen as encapsulating the entire teaching of the Buddha. For even a single statement of this mind training practice has the incredible power to help us subdue our self-oriented behavior and mental afflictions.

About the Teacher
Tulku Dawa Gyalpo Rinpoche was recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and His Holiness Penor Rinpoche as the authentic reincarnation of the previous Shidag Rinpoche Orgyan Pema Rangdrol. At the age of six he joined His Holiness Penor Rinpoche’s Namdroling Monastery in Bylakuppe, South India. Upon finishing the basic monastic education at Namdroling, he joined the famed Ngagyur Nyingma Institute and completed the nine-year course in both sutra and tantra.Upon graduation, he was appointed as the head of the Tsogyal Shedrup Dhargyeling nunnery and at the same time taught at the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute. Apart from his Root Guru, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, he also received many empowerments, transmissions, and instructions from lamas of all sects of Tibetan Buddhism. At present he lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and teaches extensively in North America.
