They deal in part with issues particular to Buddhist monks, but they also contain much that is of more general interest. Since the monks being addressed were at different stages in their practice, each talk deals with issues on a variety of levels. Thus there should be something of use for every reader interested in the training of the mind.

This includes most e-reader applications on mobile phones and tablets (e.g. Apple's iBooks, various apps for Android), and on desktops (e.g. Calibre). - Kindle owners will generally want the AZW3 format. Unfortunately, AZW3s cannot be sent with Amazon's Send to Kindle service and need to be sideloaded via USB. Some have tried using Send to Kindle to send EPUBs, but with mixed success. - Kobo owners will want kobo's "KEPUB" format, which is a version of the EPUB format optimized for Kobo e-readers. ## Table of Contents - Cover - Titlepage - Copyright - Quote - Introduction - From Ignorance to Emptiness - The Tracks of the Ox - The Path of Strength - The Savor of the Dhamma - The Middleness of the Middle Way - The Simile of the Horse - Principles in the Practice, Principles in the Heart - The Four Frames of Reference - The Work of a Contemplative - The Fangs of Unawareness - The Outer Space of the Mind - To Be an Inner Millionaire - Every Grain of Sand - Glossary ## Cover image - --> - - - -
