Gomo Tulku : Becoming a child of the Buddhas

A fresh translation of one of the best known and most studied Buddhist texts, the "Seven Point Mind Training" by Geshe Chekawa, a Tibetan master of the Kadampa tradition. The root verses are accompanied by an explanatory commentary by Gomo Tulku, in which he provides a detailed description of how to train the mind and develop mental qualities that maintain peace of mind under all circumstances.

"The real reason behind all our problems is that we have not been taking care of our own minds. Instead, we have become dominated by the three mental poisons of attachment, hatred, and ignorance...In my own experience, the most harmful of selfish attitudes is that of being happy and pleased with people who help or praise us, and on the other hand, being unhappy and angry with people who speak harshly to us or criticise us. These feelings, in turn, bring about attachment and anger toward these so-called friends and enemies. These negative emotions, the result of cherishing ourselves, totally destroy our mental happiness and bring about a state of confusion." Gomo Tulku.
