"To Dispel the Misery of the World presents an authoritative
and expansive commentary on the essential Tibetan Buddhist tradition
of
lojong or mind training. Although brief, the author Ga
Rabjampa provides an overview of the entire Mahayana path, from guru
devotion to the generation of
bodhicitta to realization of the ultimate. While true to the
simple and profound lojong teachings of the early Kadam
masters, the text expands the essential points of mind training to
include detailed instructions on visionary meditation practice. The
author's extended presentation of sending and receiving (tonglen)
seems unique in the Tibetan tradition. The works of Ga Rabjampa
deserve to be better known, and this eloquent translation makes a
valuable contribution."
