Summary
Warning: Using this book could be hazardous to your ego! The slogans it contains are designed to awaken the heart and cultivate love and kindness toward others. They are revolutionary in that practicing them fosters abandonment of personal territory in relating to others and in understanding the world as it is.
The 59 provocative slogans presented here - each with a commentary by the Tibetan meditation master Chgyam Trungpa - have been used by Tibetan Buddhists for eight centuries to help meditation students remember and focus on important principles and practices of mind training. They emphasize meeting the ordinary situations of life with intelligence and compassion under all circumstances. Slogans include, "Don't be swayed by external circumstances," "Be grateful to everyone," and "Always maintain only a joyful mind. "This edition contains a new foreword by Pema Chodron.

Wonderfully simple and precise instruction. A true mahasiddha
This a true book on practice not just theory. To come across such a teaching one is truly blessed and should take the instruction seriously.

GREAT! -NBabuse survivors listen with caution
I really did love it and absorb many of the lessons, however just a word of caution, if you are healing from codependcy or abuse, some of the later lessons could really trigger a fawning response and invite abuse, also his tone is pretty condescending throughout . I love the ethos behind and I will take alot of teachings from this listen, but just be mindful and take it all in as part of a bigger picture, as it can come across, slightly bad at times . I can easily understand , through listening to this text, how many gurus and spiritual teachers have emotionally abused victims to the point of suicide. I just never understood how that could be . but in the description of allowing pain to come to you to grow you , I see the point , but I think this could be very detrimental to someone early on their healing path from abuse . so I just would like to advise caution, always listen to your own inner self , but it really is a decent listen and I've listened twice. 💚

Entire Buddhism in one book
Though the content was excellent, it was really really hard to get through this book. The reader was expressive yet difficult to keep listening to. I dunno how to explain it. The teachings are overwhelming cos I'm just beginning my spiritual journey. So many expectations that I'm sure if I can do all that is asked of me.

New way of thinking
For a non Buddhist, I found this very enlightening.
It pretty much leaves you with a choice. Whether to change complete, or not?

A slow burner; not for me.
I'm afraid I bailed out on this one at chapter 5 - I had not one clue what was going on; even though I did recognise some of the words and terms.
Narrator is lovely, but the materiel was just all over the place for my understanding.
