Summary of Sakyong Mipham's Turning the Mind Into an Ally

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We all agree that training our body through exercise, diet, and relaxation is a good idea, but why don’t we think about training our mind. We can train our minds in shamatha meditation, which helps us discover our natural peace.

#2 We must train our mind to work in order to use it to do something particular. We must create the conditions necessary for the flower of compassion and wisdom to grow, by softening up our hearts, minds, and lives.

#3 The teachings are always available, like a radio signal in the air. But a student needs to learn how to tune in to that signal and how to stay tuned in. We can begin the process of personal development by including short periods of meditation as part of our everyday lives.
