Don't Vacillate
|
 My Book on Tai Chi Imagery |
You should not vacillate in your enthusiasm for practice. If you sometimes practice and sometimes do not, that will not give birth to certainty in the dharma. Therefore, don't think too much. Just concentrate one-pointedly on mind training.

| A contemporary reinterpretation of the proverbs, building on Jamgon Kongtrul's 19th century commentary, by the first man to teach Mind Training extensively in the West. | |
| Fascinating autobiographical account of Trungpa's early life and training in Tibet, his daring escape to India, and his teaching in the West. | |
| Instructions for the Bardo (intermediate state between lives) from the Tibetan tradition. Also applicable to all periods of uncertainty and life transitions. | |
| Extracts from Trungpa's key teachings. | |
| 'The problem is that the ego can convert anything to its own use, even spirituality'. His incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from this trick that we all play on ourselves, and to offer us a far brighter reality: the true and joyous liberation that inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than working to improve it. | |
| Incisive teachings by one of the most influential Tibetan Buddhist teachers in the West. A central theme: giving up our hopes that meditation will bring us bliss or tranquility or make us better or wiser people or otherwise serve our ego's purposes, and realizing the liberation that is right here within our pain and confusion and neurosis. | |
