About this listen

For many centuries Indian and Tibetan Buddhists have employed this collection of pithy, penetrating Dharma slogans to develop compassion, equanimity, lovingkindness, and joy for others. Known as the lojong - or mind-training - teachings, these slogans have been the subject of deep study, contemplation, and commentary by many great masters. In this volume, Traleg Kyabgon offers a fresh translation of the slogans as well as in-depth new commentary of each. After living among and teaching Westerners for over 20 years, his approach is uniquely insightful into the ways that the slogans could be misunderstood or misinterpreted within our culture. Here, he presents a refreshing and clarifying view, which seeks to correct points of confusion.

Clear and insightful presentation of the Lojong teachings making this essential practice more widely accessible. Narration is slightly jarring, as others have pointed out, but if you can get past that the rewards are considerable. May all beings benefit.

Accessible presentation

The material itself is very good. The narrator's voice holds your attention (unlike many on this kind of subject matter) but the Tibetan pronunciation is cringeworthy. If you can get past that, it's worth listening to.

Great Book. Terrible Pronunciation

This sets a great tone, is very easy to listen and is insightful and practical. I listen to a lot on topics of philosophy and this is one of the most simple and therefore helpful books regarding practice of Buddhism. Enlightening regarding personal behaviour, will be useful to all

Super audible book

The Buddhist mind training of Lojong perfectly described in simple practices. A perfect joy of a book.
Marred only by inept pronunciation. Google search can pronounce any word, so easy to look it up. It jarred every time to hear the respectful “Rinpoche” pronounced Rim-porch-ee. Plus a few others. Pity.

Wonderful Clarity

Am halfway through and struggling to finish as the narration is distracting. I think I'll do better reading it on my kobo than listening. The teachings themselves are very useful

Great teaching but...
