Balancing the Mind

by B. Alan Wallace and Foreward by the Dalai Lam

For centuries Tibetan Buddhsit contemplatives have directly explored consciousness through carefully honed rigorous techniques of meditions.Balancing the Mind includes a translation of a classic discussion by the fifteenth-century Tibetan contemplative Tsongkhapa of methods for developing exceptionally high degrees of attentional stability and clarity. B. Alan Wallace trained for many years as a monk in Buddhsit monasteries in India and Switzerland. He has taught Buddhist theory and practice in Europe and America since 1976 and has served as interpreter for numerous Tibetan scholars and contemplatives, including H.H. the Dalai Lama.
