Review Quotes

‘This book is precious. Read it carefully to discover a brilliant map for training your mind and heart that is immediately applicable to all of life’s circumstances. If things are going well, be generous and share your good fortune. If things are difficult, use this as an opportunity for empathy for others suffering in similar ways. Dhirananda and Viryabodhi have done a brilliant job of translating the profound and compassionate slogans into immediately accessible and practical teachings for the modern world.’ Vidyamala Burch OBE, founder of the Breathworks Foundation and author of Living Well with Pain and Illness, Mindfulness for Health, and Mindfulness for Women

‘This is a great book for anyone who wants to know how to practise the Dharma in every moment of their life. The authors invite us to change our habitual attitudes to ones in which we treat whatever happens to us as gifts – opportunities to grow spiritually.’ Ratnaguna, author of The Art of Reflection and Great Faith, Great Wisdom

‘The pithy slogans of the Tibetan mind-training tradition challenge us to face up to our self-centredness and to recognize how it perpetuates our suffering. Drawing on several traditional commentaries, the authors show how this ancient wisdom remains pertinent to today’s existential challenges.’ Nagapriya, author of The Promise of a Sacred World: Shinran’s Teaching of Other Power
