The Dalai Lama's Book of Transformation

A practical little book, to aid and inspire Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. It includes clear and simple meditation techniques which we can use to transform our attitudes, in order to generate love, compassion, understanding and wisdom. In plain, accessible language, it gives instructions for two meditation practices - lo-jong and tonglen meditation - that release anger and negative emotions and increase our ability to act with kindness.
