I've reopened my Lojong practice for lent. I started four years ago during the pandemic and made my own slogan cards. The idea was that I then even would add comments and explanations but that never happened. This year I decided to go back to Lojong. To look at a new slogan every day and collect various interpretations in order to understand them. That is how I stumbled upon your blog. So thank you for your thoughts and explanations. I appreciate them.

When I read about "offering to the döns", I came to think of Milarepa's demons and a quote from Pema Chödrön that has been important to me for many years: Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. We shouldn't ignore or suppress our hangups. We should ask them what they have to teach us.
