Geshe Kelsang bases His newest commentary on the 11th century text entitled, "Eight Verses of Training the Mind" written by Bodhisattva Langri Tangpa. Once again, as with all of his writings, Geshe Kelsang, in His Great Wisdom, guides us step by step through a practice that will bring us much happiness and contentment even though we suffer through the tragedies of samsara. The Author offers His commentary on each verse, with practical insight and easier to read language. Chapters such as "Enhancing Cherishing Love" and "Great Compassion" are filled with wise and timely advice on how to live the Lojong teachings day to day. In the back of the book one finds the root text, translated clearly into understandable english, along with the "Essense Of Good Fortune" Sadhana and "The Kadampa Way Of Life" containing "Advice From Atisha's Heart," and "The Three Principal Aspects of The Path" by Je Tsongkhapa. Loving kindness, in our age of great delusion, is necessary for survival, and runs contrary to the way the world views relating to other living beings. This book explains the how to live a life of cherishing others while protecting our own practice as well.
