Lojong Practice Journal: Begin the sequence of sending and taking with yourself

The 59 slogans through a social justice lens

This week I'm re-sharing a Lojong slogan, one that has been deeply influential to my practice: Begin the sequence of sending and taking with yourself.

While this slogan is specifically about how to practice Tonglen meditation, it's applicable to everything and an important reminder. When we wish for the liberation of all beings, we must remember we are part of the 'all'. We must also remember that we can only change our own hearts and minds. We begin with ourselves because that is the relative experience most accessible to us.

Today's #lojongslogan for today, from @shambhala_publications Pema Chödrön's Compassion Cards. Text of commentary for anyone who has trouble reading it (not sure why the picture is upside down. Not sure how/if I can flip it): Constantly apply cheerfulness, if for no other reason than because you are on this spiritual path. Have a sense of gratitude about everything, even difficult emotions, because of their potential to wake you up. #buddhism #tibetanbuddhism #mahayana #mahayanabuddhism #lojongslogans #lojongslogan21 #lojongmeditation #lojongmindtraining #mindtraining #buddhusnoffthecushion #buddhismindailylife
