"Rinpoche uses a quotation on Lonjong from Praise to Bodhichita to explain the purpose of this practice and how to apply it to our daily life by way of using many practical examples. The benefits are incredible because we utilize all problems we experience to achieve enlightenment. The way to be successful in Lojong is starting from small disturbing experiences, realizing how they come form our mind. As they come from our negative mind, what we need to do is transform it, make it positive. With bodhichitta, with a positive mind, no matter what people do, everyone is our heart friend. Like that, we use with whatever problem and transform into happiness, starting with small ones, then bigger and bigger. By thinking on the benefits we get from that practice we get happiness right now, then happiness for future lives and then ultimate happiness, liberation from samsara and enlightenment. Amazing.
