From the Back Cover
This accessible book contains the essence of the Seven-Point Mind Training, expressed in the intimate, colloquial style that distinguishes Ringu Tulku's teachings. The Seven-Point Mind Training, a lojong practice, assumes no prior special training or preparation. It does not require practitioners to enter seclusion or change the way they live their lives. It asks that they examine their relationships with all those around them, and to make a strong determination to become enlightened for others' sake rather than for their own. It gives instructions for tonglen, a breathing practice that ties the concepts of lojong to the physical act of breathing. Mind Training focuses simply on giving up self-cherishing and transforming self-centered thinking into compassion, egoistic feelings into altruism, desire into acceptance, and resentment into joy.

"The Seven Point Mind Training by Chekawa is the root text for Lojong or the mental training in exchanging ourselves with others. This is the precious heart of the Tibetan Mahayana practice. My root lama Kyabje Khamtrul Dongyu Nyima towards the end of his life gave this same text as the quintessence of practice to his most advanced yogis.

"The text comprises brief aphorisms or slogans to be incorporated into our daily lives to help us transform our self concern into altruism and awaken our genuine compassion and wisdom. Now we have this excellent commentary by Ringu Tulku, a master of the Karma Kagyu tradition. His simple and helpful explanation elucidates the true meaning of the text and encourages us to place this practice at the centre of our lives. The Q&A sections have the added benefit of answering many of the common problems and misconceptions that this practice often elicits. This is a vital book for all those committed to the Dharma path of whatever school."--Ani Tenzin Palmo, author of Reflections on a Mountain Lake, and videos Nature of the Mind and Opening of the Heart
