An engaging and lively exploration by Shamar Rinpoche of the
frequently studied Buddhist subject called lojong, or mind
training. Shamar Rinpoche bases his discussion on a classic text by
the eminent sixteenth-century Buddhist teacher, the Fifth Shamarpa.
As elucidated by Shamar Rinpoche, the material is made especially
applicable for our modern-day lives. Topics included in the book
such as "Transforming adverse circumstances into the path of
awakening" are exceptionally relevant for us to explore today.
Shamar Rinpoche gave these teachings at a program less than two
weeks before his passing. The presentation reflects the richness of
the author's life as a Buddhist master of his stature-a rare
offering from which we can all benefit. Shamar Rinpoche, Mipham
Choekyi Lodroe (1952-2014), was the Fourteenth Shamarpa. Born in
Derge, Tibet, Shamar Rinpoche was recognized by the Sixteenth
Gyalwa Karmapa in 1957 and by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Shamar
Rinpoche was an accomplished Buddhist master and teacher, respected
and cherished by many students of Buddhism the world over. In 1996,
he began organizing Bodhi Path Buddhist Centers, a network of
centers covering many continents, in which a non-sectarian approach
to meditation is practiced. In addition, over the years, Shamar
Rinpoche founded several non-profit organizations worldwide engaged
in charitable activities, including projects to provide schooling
for children born into poverty, and an organization committed to
promoting animal rights.
