The Seven-Point Mind Training: Tibetan Meditation Guide for Cultivating Mindfulness & Compassion | Perfect for Stress Relief & Spiritual Growth

“In our search for the meaning of life,” Wallace begins, “we may overlook the fact that life doesn’t necessarily have any meaning at all.”He had me at “In our search for the meaning of life…”Admittedly, I am a B. Alan Wallace fan and I own a host of his books, both in paper (should the Kindle fail) and Kindle (my preferred mode of reading these days). In The Seven-Point Mind Training, Wallace takes you by your spiritual hand and coaxes you all the way up from mundane human to enlightened Buddha (with some—or a lot—of practice, of course).I found the book a delight to read, and very, very clear in its exposition of this ancient teaching. Wallace is not only a great scholar, he also has a great gift: he is a wonderful writer. And it takes a great writer to clearly make point after important point—all the way making sure that you grasp and follow.The central theme of the Seven-Point Mind Training is “to make the liberating passage from the constricting solitude of self-centeredness to the warm kinship with others which occurs with the cultivation of cherishing others even more than oneself.” This summarizes (nicely) my current life and journey, and Wallace, in my book, is an invaluable guide.
