Description

For many centuries Tibetan Buddhists have employed fifty-nine pithy slogans to help them develop clarity, intelligence, and compassion in all circumstances. In this book, Tibetan meditation master Chgyam Trungpa offers this revolutionary practice, called lojong, to Westerners. Readers learn how slogan practice can become a powerful means of overcoming fear and self-centredness. Slogans include: 'Don't be swayed by external circumstances' and 'Always maintain only a joyful mind'.
