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 \u003ci\u003eStart Where You Are \u003c\/i\u003e by Pema Ch dr n and \u003ci\u003eTraining the Mind \u003c\/i\u003e by Ch gyam Trungpa. This edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Great Path of Awakening \u003c\/i\u003e contains an accessible, newly revised translation of the slogans from the famous text \u003ci\u003eThe Seven Points of Mind Training \u003c\/i\u003e. It also includes illuminating commentary from Jamgon Kongtrul that provides further instruction on how to meet every situation with intelligence and an open heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJamgön Kongtrül (1813-1899) was a versatile and prolific scholar.
