<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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 <i>Start Where You Are </i> by Pema Chödrön and <i>Training the Mind </i> by Chögyam Trungpa. This edition of <i>The Great Path of Awakening </i> contains an accessible, newly revised translation of the slogans from the famous text <i>The Seven Points of Mind Training </i>. It also includes illuminating commentary from Jamgon Kongtrul that provides further instruction on how to meet every situation with intelligence and an open heart.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Jamgon Kongtrul's commentary on the slogans is one of the best books I studied. I was relieved that Buddhism was so simple. You can just follow the book and do as it says, which is extraordinarily powerful and such a relief."--Chögyam Trungpa<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jamgön Kongtrül (1813-1899) was a versatile and prolific scholar. He has been characterized as a "Tibetan Leonardo" because of his significant contributions to religion, education, medicine, and politics.
