Product Description
A little book to help inspire and transform heart and mind. Teachings such as meditations on generating compassion and calm are the core of this little book that will appeal to the growing number of people inspired by the Dalai Lama.
A practical little book, to aid and inspire Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. It includes clear and simple meditation techniques which we can use to transform our attitudes, in order to generate love, compassion, understanding and wisdom. In plain, accessible language, it gives instructions for two meditation practices–lo-jong and tonglen meditation – that release anger and negative emotions and increase our ability to act with kindness.
A follow-up to the bestseller The Dalai Lama’s Book of Wisdom this book should have wide appeal to all those seeking more happiness and peace.
From the Back Cover
INSPIRATIONAL WORDS FROM ONE OF THE LEADING SPIRITUAL FIGURES OF OUR TIME
Our state of mind, in terms of our attitudes and emotions, plays a crucial role in shaping the way we experience happiness and suffering. His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, offers simple advice on how to work with negative emotions (such as anger) and strengthen positive emotions (such as altruism and compassion). He shows us practical ways to transform our hearts and minds and create the happiness we seek.
This book is based on His Holiness the Dalai Lama's bestselling book, 'Transforming the Mind'.

Format:Paperback
As far as books on Buddhism goes, this is simple, effective ans easy to comprehend. It doesn't take much to realise what His Holiness is stating and his approach to compassion is one that can easily be applied to life.
It's a small book, but with plenty to say, and as an initial guide to altruism, it is highly useful.

Huge wisdom from a little tiny book
10 May 2001
Format:Paperback
A wonderful companion book to the Dalai Lama's "Transforming the Mind." I keep this little book (be prepared: it's only about 4" square!) on my computer at work and refer to it in times of stress (about every half hour).
"The Book of Transformation" has actually taken the most important concepts of "Transforming the Mind" and put them here. I think it's a great idea, especially if you are like me and enjoy going back and re-reading certain sections.
I'd recommend reading "Transforming the Mind" first, then keeping this little book with you at all times! It will constantly remind you that generating compassion for all living beings is a wonderful way to bring true joy into your own life, as well as spreading joy everywhere you go. The world could learn a lot from this Nobel Peace Price recipient.

Cliff Notes Version of "Transforming the Mind"
26 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book "Transforming the Mind" by His Holiness the Dalie Lama is an essential "how to" book on learning to foster wisdom and compassion in your daily life. This is the wonderful "Cliff Notes" version of the same. Small and easy to carry with you. I consider both vital tools for growth and peace of mind. Most highly recommended.
