Seven Points of Mind Training (Book)

The great Indian Buddhist scholar Atisha went to Indonesia and spent 12 years studying Buddhism there. When he returned to India, he condensed his realization into short one-line instructions on how to behave correctly as a Buddhist and how to develop one's practice to become a Bodhisattva. His student, Chekawa Yeshe Dorje, condensed these teachings,  into 59 Dharma  instructions (sometimes called "slogans,") which are now called The Seven Points of Mind Training. 

These 59 instructions are short, easily memorized, and then will pop into our mind in the many situations of our daily life to help us to make decisions that will produce positive karma for us and others.

Under Thrangu Rinpoche's direction Michele Martin has made a new translation of the original Tibetan. Some of these instructions are hard to understand and so Thrangu Rinpoche's commentary greatly clarifies the intent and meaning of these profound instructions.
