### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Really Practical Advice!
  

*by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2013*

I found this book really helpful. I have worked with some of the other books available about the Lojong practice, and I found  this one to be very accessible. Many of the slogans are given in their traditional translations but the author has modified a few of them in ways that make them easier to recall in day to day activities. The explanations and examples for each of the various slogans are very clear and the author gives excellent advice for working with the slogans. He advises learning  each slogan  and working with it for a while but the text was so interesting and enjoyable that could not resist reading  through entire book. I plan to keep working with the slogans and returning to this book for its wonderful guidance and inspiration.

    Brilliant, on the second reading even better. Helps one keep a sense of humour.
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2023*

The first time I read this, I thought it was good. But it got me in the direction of Pema Chodron’s “No Time to Lose”, which is a commentary on The Path of the Bodhisattva by Shantideva. And also Tenzin Palmo’s “The Heroic Heart …”.Now I’m back with it I realise how much I need a sense of humour, if I’m going to even try and begin to follow that path. And this book is perfect for that. Hearing Norman reading the Audiobook, as well, was good.With a smile and a deep bow to you all. 🙏🙂

    Excellent presentation of the Lojong
  

*by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2014*

Although both Zen and Tibetan Buddhism are from the Mahayana branch of Buddhism, the two schools differ in many respects.  This provides for a very interesting presentation by Fischer, who is a Zen priest in San Francisco.  Fischer is able to take the Lojong, mind training practices which date from about 900 A.D. , and provide readers with a commentary that is modern, along with suggestions for work that are modest in conception, workable, and possibly productive of benefit (I say possibly, because who knows?  I hope to put some into my sometime practice!).By benefit neither Fischer nor I would claim that enlightenment is possible and promised.  But perhaps some more equanimity, resilience, and compassion might find their way into your life if you take this work seriously.  It comprises of 59 slogans that Fischer puts his twist on.  His interpretation may help make these slogans more available to you.Time will tell, particularly if you take up the work.  If not his, you might look at books by Kornfield  Boorstin, Goldstein or Salzberg, all espousers/explainers/popularizers of vipassana and meta  (insight and loving-kindness) practices.  Good luck!
