Publisher Description

Essential Mind Training is the first volume in the Tibetan Classics series, which aims to make available accessible paperback editions of key Tibetan Buddhist works drawn from Wisdom Publications' Library of Tibetan Classics.

The key to happiness is not the eradication of all problems but rather the development of a mind capable of transforming any problem into a cause of happiness. Essential Mind Training is full of guidance for cultivating new mental habits for mastering our thoughts and emotions.

This volume contains eighteen individual works selected from Mind Training: The Great Collection, the earliest compilation of mind-training (lojong) literature. The first volume of the historic Tibetan Classics series, Essential Mind Training includes both lesser-known and renowned classics such as Eight Verses on Mind Training and The Seven-Point Mind Training. These texts offer methods for practicing the golden rule of learning to love your neighbor as yourself and are full of practical and down-to-earth advice.

The techniques explained here, by enhancing our capacity for compassion, love, and perseverance, can give us the freedom to embrace the world.

How to Develop Compassion

Regardless of your religion, if you would like to learn how to develop compassion, this text focuses intensively upon that. Mind training is a Tibetan Buddhist philosophy which includes: a) Destroying Self Cherishing, b) Cultivating Unbounded Compassion for all Sentient beings. By thinking less of yourself, you free yourself of most burdens we all experience. Then, cultivating love and compassion for others brings to you a sustainable, long-term joy unprecedented by material, or worldly things. Great read for anyone sincerely interested in generating compassion.
