2009 revised edition. A Buddhist book exploring the sutric teaching of 'The Four Thoughts that turn the Mind to Practice' as vividly relevant to our everyday lives: the extraordinarily precious opportunity to live as an honourable human being; the experience of impermanence that pervades our existence as an opportunity to awaken; the emotional and psychological patterning which dominates our lives (karma); and the seemingly endless cycle of dissatisfaction in which we imprison ourselves. Each chapter ends with a series of questions and answers which are both pragmatic and inspirational. Ngakma Nor'dzin has been a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism for more than twenty years.

Relaxing into Meditation

'Travelling at the Speed of Mind' explores the teachings illustrated by the Buddhist Wheel of Cyclic Existence. Each chapter is a conversation between Ngakma Nor'dzin, her husband Ngakpa 'ö-Dzin, and a student. The cycle of the 12 interdependent links; the qualities of the six realms of rebirth; the result of the recurring patterns of perception and response which are created by attraction, aversion or indifference; are all examined in detail. The text is illustrated with images taken from a commissioned Wheel of Life thangka. Ngakma Nor'dzin, an award winning author, presents a lively and insightful discussion, which leaves the reader in no doubt about the immediate need to address confusion, and the ever-present possibility of liberation.

Battlecry of Freedom explores the Tibetan Buddhist practice of training the mind as presented by Chekhawa Yesh? Dorje in the 12th century. His Seven Points of Mind Training offer a complete approach to daily practice in 59 slogans. Ngakma Nor?dzin presents each of the slogans with a pithy explanation, as in slogan 12: Drive all blames into one.? When lying on the ground, looking up at the horse, the realised rider takes the blame for being thrown. Then her commentaries vividly expand on the point of the slogan ? bringing them to life through stories that use horse riding as an analogy for riding and training the mind. These clearly and delightfully illustrate how to stay in the saddle of Mind Training, in order to ride the joys and challenges of everyday life for the benefit of everyone and everything, everywhere. Slogan cards are available to accompany the book, providing a pragmatic method of Mind Training that is powerful, inspiring, and entirely relevant for a contemporary audience.
