Publisher's summary

For many centuries Indian and Tibetan Buddhists have employed this collection of pithy, penetrating Dharma slogans to develop compassion, equanimity, lovingkindness, and joy for others. Known as the lojong - or mind-training - teachings, these slogans have been the subject of deep study, contemplation, and commentary by many great masters. In this volume, Traleg Kyabgon offers a fresh translation of the slogans as well as in-depth new commentary of each. After living among and teaching Westerners for over 20 years, his approach is uniquely insightful into the ways that the slogans could be misunderstood or misinterpreted within our culture. Here, he presents a refreshing and clarifying view, which seeks to correct points of confusion.

Insightful and easy to follow solid teachings

This is my second book from this great master and he's helped me learn the essentials about key teachings from the Buddha. The teachings are so well structured, and they build upon each other in a way that they help set the conditions for a greater awakening. May all beings be free of suffering. May all beings be happy.

Lucid, concise, essential

This is a wonderfully clear, concise and accessible explanation of an essential Buddhist practice. The author combines an understanding of the traditional text and insight into Western thinking which I found quite unique. Thoroughly recommended.

On par with Trungpa

A different, equally highly articulate and accessible explanation of mind training. His book on karma is good, too

EXCELLENT

This is a book I HIGHLY recommend.
I have listened to it a couple of times and bought the physical book, to refer to and to listen to the audio again, simultaneously.
The narrator, mr. Julian Elfer, is a pleasure to listen to.
My thanks to all involved, JK.

Excellent

This is a remarkable statement of traditional mind training in a modern idiom that refuses to excise the spiritual elements of the teaching.
