We will keep the old site indefinitely, since so many people have links and bookmarks to it, but all updates and new features will be to the new site.
The website contains a database of commentaries on the Seven Points of Mind Training. The core practice involves taking on others' sorrow and pain and sending them your joy; not as a masochistic practice but with the aim of getting away from the self-centeredness and self-seeking that cause us so much pain. These practices were brought to Tibet in the eleventh century by the Indian Buddhist teacher Atisha.
Best wishes,
