Summary
For many centuries Indian and Tibetan Buddhists have employed this collection of pithy, penetrating Dharma slogans to develop compassion, equanimity, lovingkindness, and joy for others. Known as the lojong - or mind-training - teachings, these slogans have been the subject of deep study, contemplation, and commentary by many great masters. In this volume, Traleg Kyabgon offers a fresh translation of the slogans as well as in-depth new commentary of each. After living among and teaching Westerners for over 20 years, his approach is uniquely insightful into the ways that the slogans could be misunderstood or misinterpreted within our culture. Here, he presents a refreshing and clarifying view, which seeks to correct points of confusion.

Accessible presentation
Clear and insightful presentation of the Lojong teachings making this essential practice more widely accessible. Narration is slightly jarring, as others have pointed out, but if you can get past that the rewards are considerable. May all beings benefit.

Super audible book
This sets a great tone, is very easy to listen and is insightful and practical. I listen to a lot on topics of philosophy and this is one of the most simple and therefore helpful books regarding practice of Buddhism. Enlightening regarding personal behaviour, will be useful to all

Wonderful Clarity
The Buddhist mind training of Lojong perfectly described in simple practices. A perfect joy of a book.
Marred only by inept pronunciation. Google search can pronounce any word, so easy to look it up. It jarred every time to hear the respectful “Rinpoche” pronounced Rim-porch-ee. Plus a few others. Pity.

Great Book. Terrible Pronunciation
The material itself is very good. The narrator's voice holds your attention (unlike many on this kind of subject matter) but the Tibetan pronunciation is cringeworthy. If you can get past that, it's worth listening to.

If you are looking for meditation/zen, this is misleading.
It speaks about developing positive emotions, and being able to feel others pain.
I feels like another typical “self help”, repeated messages that don’t make sense.
I’ve read amazing books on meditation and zen, such as: three pillars of zen , Tao Te Ching, Beginners Mind… and many more
There is no positive or negative feelings, these are dualistic views… this guy speak of meditation, then proceeds on describing the exact opposite of meditation?
To “think” of others pain?
And develop positive “thoughts”…..?
There is suppose to be NO THINKING
It’s like this book is about Christianity but he name it as Buddhism and Meditation…
Very misleading and confusing
