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.

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

This really helped my understanding! TEN Stars!

December 27, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The teachings of boddhisatva, lojong practice, is challenging for me to really "grok." After a retreat on mind training I searched many sources for a fundamental,clear explication. Pema Chodron, of course, covers the teachings in a comfortable style and I love her.
Traleg Kyabgon's teaching offer a penetrating presentation of recondite material. I've reread the preliminary practices many times. I finally decided to use a yellow highlighter. It's ridiculous! I may as well use a gray marker for the parts I DON'T want to highlight .
After the retreat I found myself trying to move too quickly through the lojong teachings. This fine book helped me slow down so I could bring it into my practice.
Sorry to run on. This book deserves it and it will reward careful reading.

this is one of the very best books currently available on Lojong

March 24, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you are looking for an imminently readable and accessible exposition on this subject, by an undeniably authentic modern Tibetan teacher well versed in Western culture, this is one of the very best books currently available on Lojong. It will add inestimably to your practice, and even more so to your everyday life. Not dry or academic by any means, but not at all dumbed down in the least. Gets straight to the heart of the matter. This book gets my very highest recommendation. Do yourself, and the world, a favor and hunt down a copy of this gem!!!

August 9, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Our Mindfulness Meditation class is using this book as the basis for the classes. There are 57 slogans listed and we learn from one slogan each week. So obviously, this book will take some time to explore. I have learned so much from this book. It is transforming my negative, habitual patterns into ones of compassion and loving kindness through the suggested meditations of forgiveness, loving kindness and Tonglen. It tells us to use the slogans as we go through our day to transform our reactive nature into one of compassion. Thank you to the author, Traleg Kyabgon for his insights and direction to the cultivation of compassion in my life.

Excellant book on Lojong (Mind training)

December 28, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

There is so much that can be said on Lojong. This book is written very clearly. A group of 5 of us studied the book, most were not Buddhist but had an interest in Buddhism. There were some concepts that required some discussion and explanation by the Buddhists in our group. However, anyone interested in changing oneself for the better will be able to get quite a lot from this book, and I believe they would find this book very useful. Traleg Rinpoche is an outstanding teacher of great accomplishment. I was blessed to be able to read his book.

This is the best book I have found on Lojong

November 16, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Shortly after joining a local buddhist community and attending a lojong retreat, I found this book in the library. After reading it once I knew I would want it around to reread, so I bought a copy. This is the best book I have found on Lojong, or training the mind in compassion; I have read it 3 times now and read from it almost daily. It's a thorough and comprehensive treatment of the 59 lojong slogans, written with a depth of understanding of the power and potential for transformation of lojong practice. The writing is so good I bought the other books written by this author.

... seven point mind training and think this is a great accompaniment for westerners

February 12, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Have read or at least studied other commentaries on the practice of lojong and seven point mind training and think this is a great accompaniment for westerners. This helped clarify some points better. I'm a believer that you have to find which commentary best suits you, but with that said you can gain much by studying more than one commentary on this subject, and Traleg Rinpoche has added tremendously in that regard. I pray for his swift return.

On a side note, does anyone know why it is stated on p. 145 that the "lying-down posture" of the Buddha is on the left side? I've only heard it is the right side except at rigpawiki.org, where it states woman should lay on their left side.

His excellent command of English

January 11, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Recently discovered Traleg Rinpoche's books. His excellent command of English, in addition to his vast understanding of the subjects of course, help make the messages clear and precise. His books are extremely precious in that regard.
