Training the Wisdom Body presents the practice of lujong-exercise for our entire system, from the coarse aspects to the subtler and more profound. (Lujong is a Tibetan compound word: lu meaning "body" and jong meaning "training" or "practice.") It provides a thorough foundation for those new to the practice, supports continued practice for those already familiar with the exercises, and helps people engaged in any form of yogic exercise to deepen the potent fusion of meditation and physical movement. The book includes an overview of the unique tradition of Buddhist yoga; presentations on the three foundational principles of renunciation, compassionate bodhichitta, and the profound view of reality; and an explanation of the three aspects-body, mind, and subtle body-that comprise our whole being. There are instructions on how to work with the body and mind in seated meditation and discussion that explores ways we can further our practice by working with adversities such as fear, procrastination, and anxiety and by looking at how to bring practice mind into daily life. Finally, the book includes exercise instructions that give a complete explanation of the movement practices, with photos to illustrate.

A Book About Hope for the Elderly and Their Families "I have had an extraordinary life, and I continue to do so today, but it is from a far different vantage point-a position of much greater dependency. So I wanted to write about it, to share with others not only the experience of aging, but everything that comes with it-the highs and the lows, the insights and the anger, the rewards and the burdens. While there is a tendency to feel helpless and hopeless in this situation after such a rich life experience, I want to provide something uplifting, to make people feel better. Because it is, in fact, another chapter in living, and many of us can expect to live much longer." -Introduction

Here, the Tibetan Buddhist teacher who's known for his joyous, spontaneous songs of realization presents the teachings for which he is known best, in three areas: traditional analytical inquiry, songs of realization, and altruistic prayers. Part 1 includes a section in verse that explains the progressively subtler and more profound levels of meditation on the nature of reality. Part 2 offers a brief introduction to the history and benefits of singing songs of yogic joy as a Buddhist practice. It includes commentaries on two songs by the famous Tibetan meditation master Milarepa, and offers step-by-step instructions on how to meditate on the true nature of the mind. Part 3 consists of teachings on the importance of making aspirations motivated by altruism.
