The real reason behind all our problem is that we have not been taking care of our own mind, declares Gomo Tulku in this book about Tibetan Buddhist mind training ( lo jong). He shows us how the three mental poisons of attachment, hatred, and ignorance dominate our thinking and behavior even in the most subtle of ways. Through his commentary on a famous ancient text, he shows us how to look inward for the causes and cures of daily hardship and adversity. Becoming a Child of the Buddhas contains a fresh translation of one of the best known and studied Buddhist texts, Seven Points of Mind Training. Gomo Tulku's commentary provides a detailed description of how to put these mind training techniques into practice by developing mental qualities that will bring peace of mind in any circumstances.
