Eight Verses for Training the Mind
The Prison Mindfulness Institute's mission is to provide prisoners,
prison staff and prison volunteers, with the most effective,
evidence-based tools for rehabilitation, self-transformation, and
personal & professional development. In particular, they provide and
promote the use of proven effective mindfulness-based interventions
(MBI's). Their dual focus is on transforming individual lives as well as
transforming the corrections system as a whole in order to mitigate its
extremely destructive impact on families, communities and the overall
social capital of our society. 'Eight Verses for Training the Mind' is a
text available on their website. It was composed by the Buddhist Master
Langri Tangpa (1054-1123). This revered text from the Mahayana Lojong
(mind training) tradition offers powerful practices for cultivating a
mind of compassion, wisdom, and love.
