Once upon a time high in the Tibetan Plateau there was a wise Lama. He had a young disciple named Tenzin. The Lama taught him about the basic tenets of Buddhism; law of causality and the emprtiness of all phenomena. The Lama stressed the importance of practitioner s mind and how to conquer one s mind first.
Through this Tibetan tale " Training of Mind" We learn the importance of mind training in order to get into real Buddhist practice. The story is among the many folk which my mother told me during our childhood. I am truly grateful to my mother who despite those hard early days of exile from Tibet kindly found time to marvel us with the wealth of Tibetan folk tales. I dedicate this book to her for her love and corage and for being a loving mother.
Lastly I hope the tale will stir the imagination of children around the world as it stirred mine.
