Series: Beginningmind

'Mind is kind. Mind is naturally kind without trying to make it kind. Mind is always calm and strong. By relaxing in mind your kindness grows like a tree.'

'Strong Mind' is the 2nd book of the BeginningMind Series, written by Ziji Rinpoche, it is an introduction to Dzogchen for Kids.

'The books are very simple teachings on the nature of mind. They keep it simple for us and for children. They really root the child in the nature of their own mind, in innate wisdom and in warm hearted compassion and collaboration.' - Ziji Rinpoche

Through playful questions, 'Strong Mind' confirms the power of our own strong loving mind.

'Can birds tell the sky what to do?

No! Birds cannot tell the sky what to do.

And thoughts and feelings cannot tell our mind what to do.

Our thoughts and feelings fly on by like a bird in the sky, they leave no trace.'

Through recognising the fleeting nature of their thoughts and feelings, children learn how to tap into their innate wisdom and compassion.

'Children have all kinds of pressures bearing on them all the time, even in infancy, so to encourage strong mind from the beginning is essential!

Ziji Rinpoche loves to teach and write and her latest book is called 'When Surfing a Tsunami...' Ziji Rinpoche is the Dzogchen Lineage successor of Venerable Wangdor Rimpoche. Each metaphor and key instruction originate from Dzogchen teachings which are passed down from one teacher to another, like a chain of golden mountains. Wangdor Rimpoche asked Ziji Rinpoche to bring about the furtherance of Dzogchen within a contemporary global culture. Ziji Rinpoche established the Short Moments online community for mutual support in gaining familiarity with the nature of mind. Through the Short Moments app, anyone can access profound and powerful Dzogchen teachings. Find out more on http: //shortmoments.com Celine loves to draw, empower children and tell stories. When she was introduced to the nature of mind by Ziji Rinpoche, she was awestruck at the power of mind, open like the sky, always clear and wise no matter the stormy feelings. She recognized she would have loved to learn about mind as a child. She was inspired to illustrate the teachings to cre- ate children's books introducing enlightenment to children. Combining her training in Fine Arts (BA), Performing Arts (MA), Dzogchen (Student of Ziji Rinpoche since 2007) and Early Years (Childminder), Celine now teaches Dzogchen for Kids, conducts book readings in schools and festivals and loves to illustrate new books at http: //shortmomentsforkids.com
