About this listen

Warning: Using this book could be hazardous to your ego! The slogans it contains are designed to awaken the heart and cultivate love and kindness toward others. They are revolutionary in that practicing them fosters abandonment of personal territory in relating to others and in understanding the world as it is.

The 59 provocative slogans presented here - each with a commentary by the Tibetan meditation master Chgyam Trungpa - have been used by Tibetan Buddhists for eight centuries to help meditation students remember and focus on important principles and practices of mind training. They emphasize meeting the ordinary situations of life with intelligence and compassion under all circumstances. Slogans include, "Don't be swayed by external circumstances," "Be grateful to everyone," and "Always maintain only a joyful mind. "This edition contains a new foreword by Pema Chodron.

I let this book wash over me trying to concentrate on the words, treating it like a meditation in a way. I think it would be wise to listen again, taking in just one chapter a day, to pause, reflect and think about each concept as it pertains to you and your life. There is a LOT to take in if you are not familiar with Buddhism.

So much wisdom to take in and embody

Chögyam Trungpa delivers essential Buddhist mental development teachings with such depth and rare clarity while remaining so very relatable to the western ear that it lands effortlessly and without misinterpretation. Brilliant.
