Don't Make Things Painful
|
 My Book on Tai Chi Imagery |
Don't speak in a way that causes pain for others, either by making pointed remarks and exposing their faults or, in the case of nonhuman beings, by using mantras that drain their life.

| Source of the biography of Jamgon Kongtrul given in the text. A delightful introduction to the deepest understanding of visualization, a particular way of cultivating religious imagination and full-bodied practice. Jamgon Kongtrul, a master practitioner and one of Tibet's most prolific writers, composed this text as a guide to the effective practice of tantric Buddhist meditation. Written in the style of the Tibetan songs of realization, the text leads a way along a clear path of meditative self-transformation; this revised and updated edition includes a commentary by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche | |
| The first modern (19th century) commentary on the root text, and the primary source for all subsequent commentaries. Timeless, honest, straightforward and always insightful about our human nature. A must-have for any Mind Training practitioner. | |
