Working with the Slogans II

          My doorway into the lojong slogans was the commentary written by Judy Lief; I am gratefully indebted to her for sharing her wisdom. Her down-to-earth explanations and insights inspired me to learn more and make these a part of my daily life. I recently read an article by Lief in Lion's Roar magazine in which she listed three ways to use each slogan for contemplation over a period of three days:

• On the first day, use the slogan to reflect on how you relate to your spiritual practice.
• On the second day bring the slogan to mind in reflecting on how you handle personal relationships.
• On the third day, apply the slogan to your relationships with colleagues and your approach to your work.
