Turning The Mind Into An Ally [Book]

Turning the Mind Into an Ally by Sakyong Mipham

By: Sakyong Mipham

From this Book: 25 Quotes

Book Overview:  Strengthening, calming, and stabilizing the mind is the essential first step in accomplishing nearly any goal. Growing up American with a Tibetan twist, Sakyong Mipham talks to Westerners as no one can: in idiomatic English with stories and wisdom from American culture and the great Buddhist teachers. Turning the Mind Into an Ally makes it possible for anyone to achieve peace and clarity in their lives.  “Our own mind is our worst enemy.  We try to focus, and our mind wanders off.  We try to keep stress at bay, but anxiety keeps us awake at night… We can create an alliance that allows us to actually use our mind, rather than be used by it.  This is a practice anyone can do.” ~ Sakyong Mipham
