Synopsis:
Ga Rabjampa, an influential master of the fifteenth century, uses the famous Seven Point Mind Training (Lojong) text as the basis for illuminating the essential teachings on Buddhism, giving special attention to the practices of giving and taking (tonglen) and of transforming adversity into opportunities for spiritual growth.
"Offered here is the pith advice on mind training according to the great vehicle (Mahayana). This is the path followed by all the Buddhas and their children of the past, present, and future, the most profound instruction of the oral lineage, and the quintessence of the ocean of all the excellent teachings." Ga Rabjampa.
"For anyone yearning to lead a saner and more altruistic life in these troubling times, the practice of Lojong, or "training the mind" in compassion, is a simply priceless tool. With its unforgettable slogans and profound meditations, this essential guide to Lojong practice was recommended by Khenpo Appey Rinpoche, one of my own teachers. Here, in a remarkably lucid and accessible translation, we are given radical and timeless instructions for discovering and developing the wisdom and compassion that our world needs so very, very urgently today." Sogyal Rinpoche.
"The marvelous commentary translated so eloquently here by Adam Pearcey was written in the fifteenth century by Ga Rabjampa, the founder of Tharlam Monastery in eastern Tibet. None of Ga Rabjampa's writings were available until just a few years ago, and now I find that several of the most moving visualizations on "exchanging oneself for others" that Dezhung Rinpoche taught me thirty years ago from memory are from this work. This little book is a real gem." Cyrus Stearns.
"Reading Ga Rabjampa's commentary helps us realize that love, compassion, and kindness are not mere abstract good wishes but are far more rich and profound." Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche.
"While true to the simple and profound Lojong teachings of the early Kadam masters, the text expands the essential points of mind training to include detailed instructions on visionary meditation practice. The author's extended presentation of sending and receiving (tonglen) appears to be unique in the Tibetan tradition. The works of Ga Rabjampa deserve to be better known, and this eloquent translation makes a valuable contribution." Andrew Quintman. |
