Review
"These profound Mahayana trainings, practiced for centuries in Tibet, are presented with clarity, compassionate directness, and penetrating insight. This volume should be cherished as the companion of all who seek true meaning in life."—Tulku Thondup, author of Peace Death, Joyful Rebirth "Traleg Kyabgon draws from a wealth of traditional Buddhist sources and brings them into the context of contemporary life and thought. The wisdom of these teachings is equally relevant for all cultures, ancient and modern."—B. Alan Wallace, author of Buddhism with an Attitude
Product Description
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 twenty 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.

A great book on Mind Training, Jan 23 2008

Ce commentaire est de: The Practice of Lojong: Cultivating Compassion through Training the Mind (Paperback)
This is one of a handful of good books on lojong, tonglen or the seven point mind-training. Each book I recommend has different aspects which the various authors empahsize, and I found this one to be relevant for our life today. I still believe the best one for beginners is Pema Chodron's, but this is a good book to follow that one with!

Ce commentaire est de: The Practice of Lojong: Cultivating Compassion through Training the Mind (Paperback)
I'm a meditation teacher. My Saturday morning class has been using this as something of a "text book" for the past year or so. It's a marvelous resource. I've studied the "Seven Points of Mind-Training" with considerable seriousness for a good 16 or 17 years now and this book is one of the best out there on the subject.
