The Kindness of Others: A Commentary on the Seven-Point Mind Training

by Geshe Jampa Tegchok, Stephen Carlier (Translator), Andy Wistreich (Editor)

"It is interesting that, whether we are Buddhist or not, if we think about the great kindness of all beings it will be evident that all our happiness does indeed depend upon them."

In this title, first published by LYWA in 2006 and long out of print but now available to you in this Print-On-Demand version, Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Jampa Tegchok explains how we can train our mind away from self-cherishing, the cause of all suffering, and develop compassion, the cause of everything that is good. Rinpoche bases his explanation on Kadampa Geshe Chekawa’s classic text, The Seven Point Mind Training , which, amongst other things, teaches us how to transform problems into happiness.
