Background:
For the last several months we've been meeting once a month to work our way through the subject of mind training, which offers practical methods for exploring and reframing our thoughts and perceptions.

Each of the first four months were dedicated to one of the contemplations called the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to the Spiritual Life. Since the 5th session, we have been looking at the actual teaching of the Seven Points of Mind Training.

We will continue our discussion of the text on Saturday, May 19, 2018.
