Mind Training is a Buddhist method of the great vehicle that allows for change to occur in the mind that is ordinarily attached to its identity and lost in a form of self-complacency. This method allows for revealing the vast compassion and profound wisdom of enlightened mind.
The Eight Verses of Mind Training by Geshe Langri Tangpa (1054–1123 CE) is considered the most condensed text on this practice.
Lama Jampa Thaye will base his approach to the subject on this work. If time permits, he will also present Mind Training in a Single Session by Chim Namka Drak (1210–1285 CE), which introduces this specific meditation.
