The Missing Link to Establishing a Daily Meditation Practice,
The guided meditation mp3 CD in this book was the missing link I had been looking for in establishing a daily meditation practice. Thubten Chodron communicates the practical benefits of Buddhist teachings more effectively than anyone I’ve read and each of these guided meditations focuses on drawing connections between Buddhist principles and everyday situations. Distributing over 14 hours of guided meditations on one CD accompanying this hardbound volume provides an invaluable tool at an EXTREMELY reasonable price. If you have any hesitation at all about ordering this book and mp3 CD, visit thubtenchodron.org and listen to one of the author’s talks or read one of her essays. Discover for yourself whether or not her down to earth approach is right for you.

George Feurestein, Manalda Magazine, and the Feminist Review,
“Ven. Chodron is well known for her many clear writings. As the CD shows, she also has a clear, gentle, and calm voice, which makes the selected meditations on the Stages of the Path a delight and also very positive to listen to…. If the graduated path, as the lam rim approach is also called, has proven helpful to countless generations of monastics, it is even more important to modern Western lay practitioners, who are dealing with a good many more challenges and distractions. I can recommend without reservation both Ven. Chodron’s book and the audiorecording, which generously extends over 14 hours.”–Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D.
“Listen and learn as the lighthearted, happy, kind voice of Bikshuni Thubten Chodron guides us along the gradual path to enlightenment. Yes, this wonderful 224-page book is accompanied by a fourteen-hour MP3 CD with no less than 46 meditations! How often have we heard a teacher describe the teachings of the lam-rim and gone away wondering how to put them into practice–and here is a way to actually experience them. No more excuses: Soon the rhythm of meditating becomes as habitual and essential as the morning cuppa. Are you working with distractions? Dealing with mental afflictions? Distinctly possible under this gentle, kindly guidance.”–Mandala
“I have found few guides through the sometimes-complex practices of Tibetan Buddhism that are this thorough, accessible, and practical. The questions Chodron presents throughout the book and MP3 CD are the types of questions you might want to tape to your bathroom mirror, and she provides enough of them that you could easily start your day contemplating a different question for months. This is not the sort of book that requires a sequential reading; it is superbly organized to provide quick and easy access to any of the concepts you are currently working with, and there is plenty for those at each stage of the path. Even if you are not strictly a student of Tibetan Buddhism, there are enough core spiritual and ethical concepts covered in this book as to make it a worthwhile read for anyone…whatever your primary spiritual practice.”–The Feminist Review

Meditator,
If you want a concise and informative review that will help your understanding of the Dharma in a way that you can use on a daily basis, this is the book for you. The Lam Rim is a comprehensive meditation practice in use for centuries and is often thought to be inaccessible to the Western practitioner. Ven Thubten Chodron demystifies this important practice and in the CD provides actual guided meditations that are “user friendly” without compromising the heart of the wisdom in the ancient texts.
Definitely worth one’s attention if you are serious about your Dharma practice.
