The Mahayana path is characterized by the bodhisattva's aspiration to become a buddha for the sake of all beings. The means to develop and enhance this extraordinary attitude are revealed in a genre of teachings, at once practical and radical, known in Tibetan as lojong or mind training. Dharmarakshita's Wheel of Sharp Weapons is one of the most esteemed mind training teachings, and a powerful weapon to cut through our true enemies - the self-grasping and self-cherishing thoughts that oppose one's altruistic intention and prevent lasting happiness and peace.
In this course we will comprehensively explore this timeless teaching to reveal its richness and depth and discover the practical advice for transforming all our thoughts to respond to all our problems and difficulties with more compassion and insight.
