Mind training is a comprehensive practice that is suitable for all types of students. It contains the entire path and does not depend on a person's background. Mind Training nurses and cultivates the Buddha Nature, that pure seed of awakening that is at the very heart of every sentient being. It has the power to transform even egotistical self-clinging into self-lessness. Put into practice diligently, it is enough to lead you all the way to awakening.

In The Path to Awakening, Shamar Rinpoche gives his own detailed commentary on Chekawa Yeshe Dorje's Seven Points of Mind Training, a text that has been used for transformative practice in Tibetan Buddhism for close to a thousand years. Clear, accessible, and yet profound, this book is filled with practical wisdom, philosophy, and meditation instructions.

Gracias a los consejos o instrucciones que aqui se dan, la meditacion y la vida cotidiana se enriquecen mutuamente, llevando de forma gradual a la mente del practicante a liberarse de las tendencias egocentricas y a encontrar su dimension del despertar. En base a sus amplios conocimientos y su gran realizacion, Shamar Rinpoche, maestro tibetano del linaje kagyupa, ha escrito este comentario, El camino al despertar, para ayudar tanto a principiantes como a practicantes avanzados a beneficiarse del inconmensurable valor del lodjong cuya sencillez es unicamente comparable con su profundidad.
