Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Here is a practical Buddhist guidebook that offers techniques for developing a truly compassionate heart in the midst of everyday life. For centuries, Tibetans have used fifty-nine pithy slogans—such as 'A joyous state of mind is a constant support' and 'Don't talk about others' shortcomings'—as a means to awaken kindness, gentleness, and compassion. While Tibetan Buddhists have long valued these slogans, recently they have become popular in the West due to such books as Start Where You Are by Pema Chödrön and Training the Mind by Chögyam Trungpa. This edition of The Great Path of Awakening contains an accessible, newly revised translation of the slogans from the famous text The Seven Points of Mind Training . It also includes illuminating commentary from Jamgon Kongtrul that provides further instruction on how to meet every situation with intelligence and an open heart.

Rated by buyers -
Of the three guides to Lojong practice: Start Where You Are (by Pema Chödrön), Seven-Point Mind Training (by Alan B. Wallace), and Training the Mind (by Chögyam Trungpa), this one is more advanced in presentation and is more esoteric (Vajrayana) in nature. The other texts mentioned present the material more for the beginner. All of these texts are excellent.
This book is mentioned in "Training the Mind", and Chogyam Trungpa's comments appear on the rear cover of this book. It is a wonderful translation and the notes/glossary is helpful and extensive.
Rated by buyers -
This spiritual classic is invaluable as a point of view from which to live life well.
