Summary: Makes Meditation Relevant
Comment: Sakyong Mipham's writing style is simple and to the point. Sometimes you don't even know you're being hit with deep wisdom until the 2nd or 3rd time you read it, which is the way most good books seem to work. His style is very different from his father Chogyam Trungpa's. What's great about this book is that he actually explains in precise detail, using simple but profound metaphors, exactly why somebody would want to do meditation, and exactly what the benefits are for you and the people around you. His instructions are never vague and mushy the way so many new-age teachers seem to be. He makes it all accessible and the barriers to actually starting to practice meditation seem to fall away in a hurry. It's not some ancient tradition of mystic-worshippers; it's something that can inform and aid our lives right here and right now, no matter what kind of lifestyle we lead.

Summary: Turning the Mind into an Ally
Comment: This is a good book for those who are beginning meditators, those looking for information on meditation, or those who have been practicing meditation for some time. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche uses more Western language versus Tibetan or Shambhala language, which makes this easier to read and understand. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche also has expanded the traditional Shambhala meditation practice to include "contemplation" meditation.

Summary: Great for everyone, new and old
Comment: This book is great for those both brand new to the teachings, and not so new to the teachings. We all get stuck in our practice sometimes, and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche gives very practical advice on how to overcome distractions and get unstuck. It's been a joy for me to share this book with friends totally new to the teachings and learn from it together. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche has translated the teachings into the language that Americans speak. The clarity that I have gained from this has been pivotal to my dharma study and practice. This book is a must have for any dharma student.
