Over dit e-boek

Learn the ropes of a cultivating a resilient and warm heart, even in the face of great difficulty, from one of the most beloved of the last generation of lamas trained in pre-invasion Tibet.

The aphorisms of the Seven-Point Mind Training present a powerful and counter-intuitive call to Buddhist practice—view reality as dreamlike, contemplate the kindness of your enemies, give up expectations of reward, change yourself but remain as you are! When he fled Tibet, Gomo Tulku carried in his heart this widely studied Tibetan text, which he turned to time and again when faced with difficulties in life. Having relied on this practice to transform his own hardships, he shares here an inspired commentary to help us get through ours. Mirroring the simplicity of the original, Seven Steps to Train Your Mind succinctly provides a practical description of how to train the mind and develop the mental qualities of peace, joy, and wisdom that will carry one through any circumstance.

Gomo Tulku (1922-1985), an accomplished Buddhist master born in Tibet, was confirmed by the Thirteenth Dalai Lama to be the reincarnation of a highly realized Tibetan yogi. Holder of many rare lineages of initiation, Gomo Tulku taught and inspired many students throughout the West at the end of his life.

Joan Nicell took her Buddhist vows of ordination with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1989. For nearly twenty years she has worked as an editor and translator of Tibetan books. She edited Everlasting Rain of Nectar: Purification Practice in Tibetan Buddhism by Geshe Jampa Gyatso, edited and translated Seven-Point Mind Training: An Introduction by Gomo Tulku, and has translated numerous Tibetan works used in the master's program at Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa in Pomaia, Italy, where she lives and works as educational program coordinator.
