Essential Mind Training

by Thupten Jinpa
Essential Mind Training

Essential Mind Training is drawn from the earliest collection of Tibetan spiritual literature known as "mind training” or lojong in Tibetan. Tibetans revere the mind training tradition for its pragmatic and down-to-earth advice, especially the teachings on "transforming adversity into opportunity.” This volume contains eighteen individual works, including such renowned teachings as Atisa’s Bodhisattva’s Jewel Garland, Langri Thangpa’s Eight Verses on Mind Training, and Chekawa’s Seven-Point Mind Training, together with the earliest commentaries on these seminal texts.
