There are few books I read as passionately as I did this one. It had me coming back enthusiastically to learn more. When I put it down, I couldn't stop thinking about the learnings. With curiosity, I found myself in constant reflection on how the lessons applied to my life. If I could take these methods of mind training on board and put into practice, I wonder how much transform I could experience in my life. As I read that last page I knew it would be a book I'd love to read again.

In this book, Dzigar Kongtrul shares practical insight into what he believes is the most profound teaching in traditional Tibetan Buddhism, tonglen. It is a Tibetan word that can be translated as "giving and taking" and is a meditation practice found in Tibetan Buddhism. In this book, Dzigar Kongtrul focuses on sharing lojong which is the practice of training the mind, so we are better able to practice Dharma.
