All of us have attitudes. Some of them accord with reality and serve us well throughout the course of our lives. Others are out of alignment with reality and cause us problems. Tibetan Buddhist practice isn't just sitting in silent meditation. It's developing fresh attitudes that align our minds with reality. Attitudes need adjusting, just like a spinal column that has been knocked out of alignment. In this book, B. Alan Wallace explains a fundamental type of mental training called lojong, which can literally be translated as attitudinal training. It is designed to shift our attitudes so that our minds become pure wellsprings of joy instead of murky pools of problems, anxieties, fleeting pleasures, hopes, and frustrations. Buddhism With and Attitude is written not only with great intelligence, but also in an accessible and readable style that helps us apply the principles in daily life, showing how each one of us can shape the attitudes that lead to lasting happiness and satisfaction. - Howard C. Cutler, co-author with H.H. the Dalai Lama of The Art of Happiness
