	Description:		This special weekend with Buddhist scholar Dr. John Dunne and Upaya’s Abbot Roshi Joan Halifax was a deep dive into the practices of the Tibetan “mind training” or Lojong tradition. Inspired by Indian masters such as Śāntideva, Lojong practice radiates out of the rich, pithy slogans, composed as early as the 11th century, that are powerful pointers to awakening. They have been integrated into Zen practice more recently. The weekend included an exploration of the history of Lojong and a plunge into the slogans and associated practices. Dr. Dunne explored the underlying philosophy of Lojong, and Roshi Joan focused on the practice dimension. In this Evening Opening Session, Dr. John Dunne and Roshi Joan Halifax introduce us to the Lojong and orient us to the coming days of study and practice.
