Introduzione [a Lojong. L’addestramento mentale. Volume I]

This introduction presents the historical, doctrinal, and philosophical framework of the Tibetan Buddhist lojong (“mind training”) tradition. It traces the development of lojong within the Kadam tradition and examines its emphasis on the transformation of mental attitudes, the cultivation of bodhicitta, and practices such as tonglen. Particular attention is devoted to the contemporary reception of lojong in Western contexts, including the opportunities and risks involved in its psychological and secular reinterpretation.
