What is lojong in Tibetan Buddhism?
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Lojong literally means ‘Mind Training’
These are practices that are are aimed at changing our natural instinctive reactions so that they can be diverted towards compassion and are steeped in a more helpful basis.
These teachings, emphasise the practice of bodhichitta or compassion and especially relative bodhichitta and at times also deal in [[Wikipedia:Absolute (philosophy)|ultimate]] bodhichitta or emptiness.
The important Lojong teachings include the [[‘Seven Point Cause & Effect’]] and and the 'Equalising & Exchanging Oneself for Others'.
They were introduced to Tibet by Lord Atisha in the eleventh century.
