Don't Depend on External Conditions
|
 My Book on Tai Chi Imagery |
Have no regard for conducive or adverse conditions, strong or weak health, wealth or poverty, good or bad reputation, troubles or absence of troubles. If conducive conditions come about, train the mind right then. If conducive conditions are not present, then work on the two bodhicittas right then. In a word, don't be concerned with your situation or other factors; never let go of your practice of mind training.

| 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. | |
