Summary<br />
Tara, the feminine embodiment of enlightened activity, is a Buddhist deity whose Tibetan name means "liberator,"<br />
signaling her ability to liberate beings from the delusion and ignorance that keep them trapped in ever-recurring<br />
patterns of negativity. She embodies a challenge-to transform our minds and become like her, whose tranquility,<br />
compassion, and wisdom make her so beautiful-but one that is profoundly nurturing. In the author's words, "We<br />
can relax in her presence and look at ourselves honestly, knowing that Tara will not judge, reject, or abandon us<br />
due to our shortcomings. Like a mother, she sees her child's potential-in this case, our spiritual potential or<br />
Buddha-nature-and wants to nurture it." Ven. Chodron describes a simple meditation on Tara, explaining its<br />
benefits and its application to daily life. She then presents two well-loved praises to Tara, together with<br />
reflections on their meanings for modern practitioners. Included here are the "Homage to the Twenty-one Taras,"<br />

Training the Wisdom Body<br />
Buddhist Yogic Exercise<br />
Rose Taylor Goldfield, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso<br />
Summary<br />
Training the Wisdom Body presents the practice of lujong-exercise for our entire system, from the coarse<br />
aspects to the subtler and more profound. (Lujong is a Tibetan compound word: lu meaning "body" and jong<br />
meaning "training" or "practice.") It provides a thorough foundation for those new to the practice, supports<br />
continued practice for those already familiar with the exercises, and helps people engaged in any form of yogic<br />
exercise to deepen the potent fusion of meditation and physical movement.<br />

The book includes an overview of the unique tradition of Buddhist yoga; presentations on the three foundational<br />
principles of renunciation, compassionate bodhichitta, and the profound view of reality; and an explanation of<br />
the three aspects-body, mind, and subtle body-that comprise our whole being. There are instructions on how to<br />
work with the body and mind in seated meditation and discussion that explores ways we can further our practice<br />
by working with adversities such as fear, procrastination, and anxiety and by looking at how to bring practice<br />
mind into daily life. Finally, the book...<br />
