What if your struggles could become tools for awakening? What if a few short slogans could reshape how you meet life’s challenges?

In this episode, Dhammamegha speaks with Dhirananda and Viryabodhi, authors of Train Your Mind: Tibetan Exercises in Wisdom and Compassion — a fresh, practical guide to the ancient Tibetan Buddhist practice of Lojong. Together, they explore how mind-training slogans like “Don’t expect applause”, “At this crucial time, practise the essentials”, and “Blame it all on the one culprit” offer pithy, powerful ways to meet life with clarity and courage.

We dive into the transformative power of these teachings — and the Tonglen meditation that often accompanies them — to discover how to work with our minds amid the messiness of real life. Whether you’re navigating relationship tensions, inner critics, or a busy modern life, this conversation is an invitation to practise wise compassion in the heart of it all.
