I AM VERY HAPPY to learn that Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron has undertaken to record the analytical meditations on the Lamrim. As a bhikshuni, it is all the more encouraging to see that she has undertaken such an important task. As I often tell people, the analytical meditations on the points of the Lamrim will transform our minds and enable us to become more compassionate and wise. I encourage people to do these meditations as part of their daily practice.
