Throughout 59 Days of Healing, our special series based on the Seven Points for Healing Dualistic Mind, a first millennium Tibetan Buddhist lojong text by Kadampa Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje, Prajna Sparks explores one maxim each day to build a strong foundation of understanding to integrate the practice into our lives. A great way to start the year--both Western, at the beginning of the series, and Tibetan, at the end!

Lama Yeshe's everyday English rendering of the 59 maxims of the Seven Points for Healing Dualistic Mind, including brief comments, is available for download in her ebook Heal Transform Transcend: Notes on Kadampa Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje's Seven Points for Healing Dualistic Mind.

Song: 59 Lojong Maxims (to the tune of Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover, by Paul Simon), lyrics by Tania Israel, piano and vocals by Heather Stevenson

PRAJNA SPARKS will return to its regular lunar calendar schedule of hour long episodes after this series. Look for new episodes on full moon days beginning on March 18, 2022.
