Khentrul Rinpoche will explain how such simple and clear wisdom can be accomplished through the Buddhist practice of lojong during a public talk and book signing on Monday, August 25th from 5:30 to 7:15pm at Somos, 108 Civic Plaza Drive in Taos. Khentrul Rinpoche’s book, The Power of Mind, is a modern guide to lojong—ancient Buddhist mind-training techniques for transforming pain, anxiety, and everyday stress into clarity, compassion, and well-being for ourselves and those around us. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Khentrul Lodrö T’hayé Rinpoche was born in Tibet. He became a monk at age seven and spent his life studying meditation and techniques for working with the mind to bring about positive change. During his training he received three Khenpo degrees — equivalent to three PhDs — from the most prominent Buddhist universities in the world.
