Be Liberated by Two: Examination and Analysis.

 
The essence of examination is trying to judge which mental afflictions arise more frequently and are stronger. The essence of analysis is trying to recognize the objects that provoke the afflictions to arise. Thus, by these two methods we should apply ourselves to preventing the arisal of any defilements and thereby gain liberation from them.

An excellent, comprehensive, and accessible introduction to the Mind Training tradition by two Tibetan lamas, which in addition to commentaries on Chekawa's proverbs also includes commentaries on Atisha's 'Jewel Rosary of an Awakening Warrior' and Langri Tangpa's 'Eight Verses on Mind Training'.
Geshe Rabten's autobiography
Account of Geshe Rabten's retreat, his progress, the insights and realizations he attained, and the advice given himn by his teachers.
The most fundamental text of the Mind Training practice, and also probably the most powerful. Composed by DharmaRakshita, Atisha's Indonesian teacher, around 1000 A.D. With commentary by Geshe Dhargyey. Explains with great clarity how our selfishness, paranoia, and self-absorption return to us like a rock thrown straight up into the air.
