The Art of Transforming the Mind

“Readers who put the advice this book contains into practice may indeed transform their minds and achieve a sense of inner peace, the key to greater peace and happiness within and in the world at large.“—His Holiness the Dalai Lama “Alan Wallace, one of the great Western Buddhist thinkers of our day, has written an extraordinary book! Buddhism with an Attitude is written not only with great intelligence, but also in an accessible and readable style that helps us apply the principles in daily life.“—Howard C. Cutler, MD, coauthor with H.H. the Dalai Lama of The Art of Happiness “This book places you into a new domain where the world actually becomes the meditation hall… . A book to guide both beginners and seasoned meditators, a book to be read reread and studied.“—Buddhist Peace Fellowship “Dr. Wallace’s versatility in the cognitive sciences offers a unique amplification for our understanding of such topics as primordial wisdom, consciousness, meditative stabilization, and bringing adversity onto the path of liberation. Through Seven-Point Mind Training, Wallace shows us the way to develop attitudes that unveil our capacity for spiritual awaking.“—Branches of Light
