My Book on Tai Chi Imagery
The opportunity to meet a spiritual master and to receive instructions, contact with the Mahayana path, the ability to generate the awakening mind, and in particular, the freedom to practice Dharma are conditions that are extremely difficult to gather together. Even in worldly matters of little importance, no one will ever pass up a unique and fortunate opportunity when it presents itself. Thus, if we have the chance created by these conditions, we should not allow it to slip by without using it wisely.Copyright Brian Beresford, 1977, 1996.

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.
