Look for the follow up album to "Deeperworlds" early this summer!

Eight Verses for Training the Mind by Langri Thangpa With a determination to accomplish The highest welfare for all sentient beings Who surpass even a wish-granting jewel I will learn to hold them supremely dear. Whenever I associate with others I will learn To think of myself as the lowest among all And respectfully hold others to be supreme From the very depths of my heart. In all actions I will learn to search into my mind And as soon as an afflictive emotion arises Endangering myself and others Will firmly face and avert it. I will learn to cherish beings of bad nature And those oppressed by strong sins and suffering As if I had found a precious Treasure very difficult to find. When others out of jealousy treat me badly With abuse, slander, and so on, I will learn to take on all loss, And offer victory to them. When one whom I have benefited with great hope Unreasonably hurts me very badly, I will learn to view that person As an excellent spiritual guide. In short, I will learn to offer to everyone without exception All help and happiness directly and indirectly And respectfully take upon myself All harm and suffering of my mothers. I will learn to keep all these practices Undefiled by the stains of the eight worldly conceptions And by understanding all phenomena as like illusions Be released from the bondage of attachment.
