Adiestrar La Mente
Este texto es un comentario sobre los Ocho Versos de Langri Tangpa que proviene de la escuela kadampa del budismo tibetano. En la primera parte el Dalai Lama habla de los principios budistas en general ya que los versos son una enseñanza sumamente condensada. En la segunda parte toma los versos uno por uno para indagar en su significado. El Dalai Lama dio estas enseñanzas en la Universidad de Washington D.C. el 8 de noviembre de 1998, con motivo de la invitación de la Conservancy for Tibetan Art and Culture (CTAC) y del Kennedy Political Union de la Universidad Americana.

About the author
Dalai Lama XIV
1,555 books6,199 followersJetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (born Lhamo Döndrub), the 14th Dalai Lama, is a practicing member of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and is influential as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the world's most famous Buddhist monk, and the leader of the exiled Tibetan government in India.
Tenzin Gyatso was the fifth of sixteen children born to a farming family. He was proclaimed the tulku (an Enlightened lama who has consciously decided to take rebirth) of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two.
On 17 November 1950, at the age of 15, he was enthroned as Tibet's ruler. Thus he became Tibet's most important political ruler just one month after the People's Republic of China's invasion of Tibet on 7 October 1950. In 1954, he went to Beijing to attempt peace talks with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the PRC. These talks ultimately failed.
After a failed uprising and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama left for India, where he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan Government in Exile) and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.
Tenzin Gyatso is a charismatic figure and noted public speaker. This Dalai Lama is the first to travel to the West. There, he has helped to spread Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.

Muy buen libro, para las personas como yo que no somos budistas nos permite entender el enfoque que le da esta religión y el poder de la mente para transformar nuestras vidas

Para los que están aprendiendo sobre el budismo es un muy buen libro para tener una visión general. Para los que simplemente quieren entender mas sobre la condición humana y quieren aprender a vivir les recomiendo enormemente este libro.

Fomento del Valor Humano:
Las actitudes positivas nos traen siempre fortaleza interior. Con fortaleza interior tenemos menos miedo y más confianza en nosotros mismos, y resulta más fácil extender nuestro afecto hacia los demás sin barrera alguna, ni religiosa ni cultural ni de ningún otro tipo.
El valor humano más profundo es la compasión, un sentimiento afectuoso y comprometido. El mensaje de las principales religiones del mundo es básicamente el mismo: amor, compasión y perdón.

Un mensaje muy claro, y aún que es bastante obvio que tenemos que aprender a domar nuestras mentes para bien de todos y de nosotros mismos, no es una tarea fácil de llevar a cabo.
