What would be the practical implications of caring more about others than about yourself? This is the radical theme of this extraordinary set of instructions, a training manual composed in the fourteenth century by the Buddhist hermit Ngulchu Thogme, here explained in detail by one of the great Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century, Dilgo Khyentse. In the Mahayana tradition, those who have the courage to undertake the profound change of attitude required to develop true compassion are called bodhisattvas.

Absolutely perfect

The root text is so great, and then the commentary is like a balm. I have lost count how many times I listened to this book, over and over.

We’ve all heard platitudes about cultivating love and compassion, but how can we really develop these qualities in ourselves and—crucially—share them in our world? Khentrul Rinpoche teaches that regardless of what’s unfolding in our lives, our route to freedom lies in our minds—and how we work with them. The Power of Mind shares instructions that we can work through, one by one—from recognizing the preciousness and impermanence of our lives to avoiding drama and self-centeredness. This wisdom is accessible to anyone seeking inner transformation—Buddhist or not.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Oddly enticing
Revisado: 02-22-23
I couldn’t stop listening to the story. It was so uncomfortable, over and over again my entire body would contract against the terrible situations, but I couldn’t stop listening. There are so many layers to this story. My personal favorite was her relating to family and her deep desire to achieve the best possible relationship with them despite insurmountable obstacles. Thank you Tara for being brave enough to release this into the world. Your perspective is rare and intoxicating.
Kudos to Julia, her variation in voices reflected the mood of the characters well.
A very painful but enjoyable experience.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

A great novel

Thanks Jeannette for opening your heart to share with us the darkest recesses of your beautiful mind. Time and again despite so many difficulties you kept going. Your story was beautifully relatable and I often was right there in the room with you and your family members as you shared the family dynamics. Easy to listen to, as it is very well read.

Devotion to one's teacher is the lifeblood of the Vajrayana path. Because the guru can and will use whatever means it takes to wake us up, this relationship may require us to drop our most deeply held beliefs and expectations. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse addresses some of the most misunderstood aspects of this powerful relationship and gives practical advice on making the most of this precious opportunity for transformation.
