Publisher's summary

Warning: Using this book could be hazardous to your ego! The slogans it contains are designed to awaken the heart and cultivate love and kindness toward others. They are revolutionary in that practicing them fosters abandonment of personal territory in relating to others and in understanding the world as it is.

The 59 provocative slogans presented here - each with a commentary by the Tibetan meditation master Chgyam Trungpa - have been used by Tibetan Buddhists for eight centuries to help meditation students remember and focus on important principles and practices of mind training. They emphasize meeting the ordinary situations of life with intelligence and compassion under all circumstances. Slogans include, "Don't be swayed by external circumstances," "Be grateful to everyone," and "Always maintain only a joyful mind. "This edition contains a new foreword by Pema Chodron.

Quite good.

Asde from some brief sectarianism, this is an excellent listen. Looking forward to reading the hard copy.

Very enlightening

Very detailed, I would find myself having to pull back my concentration. All in all it was great, and certainly a lot of information. Definitely needs to be listened to several times to absorb more. Well worth it.

Great insight

This book is a great guide to help you on your path. I can see this book being most useful if studied over and over. Take notes and research meanings for a mindful aspect of it.

Life Changing.

Would you listen to Training the Mind again? Why?

Yes, I can't wait to read it again. Why? Because it's so profound, I couldn't take it all in at once.

Any additional comments?

These are essential life instructions from a true meditation master.

A meditation classic!

There are a LOT of writings on meditation: the how, why, when, and where to do it. So many seem to be intended to bridge an imagined gap between the east and west, to try and reconcile an either/or worldview with one that is more both/and. Unless they’ve had some exposure or education in the west, many eastern teachers have issues communicating in the western idiom. And vice versa for westerners trying to translate the wisdom of the east. Chogyam Trungpa is different. Insightful, clever, thoughtful, and funny. In a way that allows his sincerity and sureness of purpose to shine through the pages. Highly recommended!
