Customer Reviews

Wonderful explanation.

This book is very helpful to ANYONE wanting to cultivate compassion and/or study Buddhism. Wonderfully masterful narration of very complex ideas. Highly suggested.

A great book on Mind Training

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!

Uplifting!

This book is a wonderful treasure, as is The Essence of Buddhism, by the same author. Read them and share the uplifing experience!

excellent

This is an excellent presentation of an important aspect of Buddhism. Well written as well.
