The Art of Transforming the Mind: A Meditator's Guide to the Tibetan Practice of Lojong

by B. Alan Wallace

Tibetan Buddhist practice isn't just sitting in silent meditation, it's developing fresh attitudes that align our minds with reality. Includes three new translations of Atisha’s source material.

In this book, B. Alan Wallace explains a fundamental type of mental training that is designed to shift our attitudes so that our minds become pure wellsprings of joy instead of murky pools of problems, anxieties, fleeting pleasures, hopes, and frustrations. The lojong—or mind-training—teachings have been the subject of profound study, contemplation, and commentary by many great masters. Wallace shows us the way to develop our capacity for spiritual awareness through his relatable and practical commentary on the mind-training slogans.

Tedious, challenging, patient, exhaustive, precise.

This is my second book on the 7 point mind training and that helped a lot with the comprehension. I especially like how the authors zeros into the key concepts of the practice.
