I wish there were a hardback edition!

April 6, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

When I first bought the book in 2016, I read the entire book. Quite a lot of it puzzled me, and the advanced practices seemed remote.
Now I've read most of it more than once, parts of it many, many times.
Rinpoche's explanations become clearer once I've spent time in contemplation. And his discussions are elegantly clear. As an example, his writings on karma cleared the fog for me. Have I entirely grasped it? I wish! But now I have a better framework for my understanding. That is only one example--not a small topic, by any means, but there are numerous other examples that could be discussed.
The writings on Buddhist practices, for me, now connect with the philosophy expressed in the first part of the book. When I see the ways in which the practices express the teachings, and how they remind the practictioner of the goals of their actions, I am now able to sense their importance.
Although my confusion hasn't by any means cleared, I go back to this book, this palpable gift of compassion, repeatedly. I sure wish I could buy a hardcover edition--my copy's getting pretty rough!

Bound of the a Classic!!

September 18, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is probably the most clearly presented description of preliminary practice in Tibetan Buddhism I have ever read. I have read Words of My Perfect Teacher by Patrul Rinpoche which is probably the classic text on this subject plus numerous other authors presentations. If you want to understand what Tibetan Buddhism is about and how it it is practiced, you must understand this subject and this author does a great job. His other two two are also as good but a little more in the self help area so this is a little different read but is just as vital.

This is among the best. The topic is ngondro practices

September 25, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've been reading a lot of books on Buddhism and the enlightened mind. This is among the best.

The topic is ngondro practices, essentially the foundation practices for all Tibetan Buddhist schools. But even if you aren't ready for this discipline, t this book is a great introduction not only to the practice, but also, remarkably, your own mind. If you've been studying for a while, it also serves to crystalize concepts that may have been less than clear.

It's well written, just as his first two books, but here the prose shines just as the clear mind he describes. If you have access to a copy read the chapter on Karma (around p.112)...

For people who want to start practicing

November 18, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

1. If you're looking for something to start your spiritual journey, for whatever reasons, I would recommend starting with The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness.
2. If you're interested in Tibetan Buddhism's teachings, I would recommend Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom.
3. This book is for people who want to start practicing Tibetan Buddhism, Ngondro to be precise. Note that you don't have to be religious to do so. I'm an atheist, and even though I don't believe in the supernatural aspects of Buddhism, the teachings of Yongey Mingyur Rinponche, and the time I've spent meditating has made me a better person all around.

Highly recommended

September 14, 2015

Wow! Terrific, clear and "impactful" writing. There are soon many books on Buddhism and related topics, and most are truly so very good. This one stands out. Deeply informative and helpful without being dry.

How to remove hindrances so eloquently.

As one who believes Plato understood we will open to know wisdom when we admit we know nothing, here's an authentic, often humorous, yet seriously clear path to an answer. Read for quality of life. Apply to better oneself and loved ones.

Definitely Recommend It

January 12, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really liked this book a lot. Like his Joy Of Living I really found it both an easy read and a substantive read. He's accessible, nicely self effacing while being clear and strong in his understanding and expression of these ideas. I'd recommend it.

Written very clearly with easy to understand terminology for western minds.
