"proof" from http://www.mipham.com/books.html
quote: "even before publication, Turning the Mind into an Ally received high praise from teachers as well as students of meditation:
"With enchanting beauty and extraordinary clarity, Turning the Mind into an Ally offers profound and timely teachings."—Tulku Thondup (The Healing Power of Mind)
"In language totally fresh and jargon-free, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche distills the wisdom of many centuries. Simple as it is profound, his book bears reading many times."—Peter Conradi (Iris Murdoch: A Life)
"With warmhearted clarity and wise simplicity, Sakyong Mipham offers some of the best advice you can find for establishing and sustaining a strong, dedicated, and genuinely transformative meditation practice."—Jack Kornfield (A Path with Heart)
"Like Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, this book addresses the complexities, obstacles, and joys of meditation with a simple and extraordinarily generous voice. It's an amazing guidebook for a beginner, in the sense that one is always a beginner and that the journey never ends."—Rudy Wurlitzer (screenplay, The Little Buddha)"
just thought for sharing this :)
