Turning the mind into an ally

the long version

"The mind is like a wild horse. We try to focus it, but it doesn't stay in one place. Instead, it bucks and runs wildly from one thing to another. We follow it helplessly wherever it goes, unable to accomplish many of our goals at work, in family life, or on a spiritual path. We're unable to rest in any happiness. This mind that works constantly against us is the weak mind. But we can strengthen it. It is meant to be strengthened. Sakyong Mipham shows us how our mind can become our most powerful ally."--BOOK JACKET.
