Buddhism

Here is a practical Buddhist guidebook that offers techniques for developing a truly compassionate heart in the midst of everyday life. For centuries, Tibetans have used fifty-nine pithy slogans-such as ""A joyous state of mind is a constant support"" and ""Don't talk about others' shortcomings""-as a means to awaken kindness, gentleness, and compassion. While Tibetan Buddhists have long valued these slogans, recently they have become popular in the West due to such books as

Start Where You Are

by Pema Ch dr n and

Training the Mind

by Ch gyam Trungpa. This edition of

The Great Path of Awakening

contains an accessible, newly revised translation of the slogans from the famous text

The Seven Points of Mind Training . It also includes illuminating commentary from Jamgon Kongtrul that provides further instruction on how to meet every situation with intelligence and an open heart.

Reviews for The Great Path of Awakening: The Classic Guide to Lojong, a Tibetan Buddhist Practice for Cultivating the Heart of Compassion

Jamgon Kongtrul's commentary on the slogans is one of the best books I studied. I was relieved that Buddhism was so simple. You can just follow the book and do as it says, which is extraordinarily powerful and such a relief. -Chogyam Trungpa Jamgon Kongtrul's commentary on the slogans is one of the best books I studied.
