At the moment I will only give a rating to the book and I hope it is possible for me to write down my reviews on Amazon. Barnes and Noble and Goodreads. I am very grateful to you because your publications are great, especially in the topics that interest me most. Thanks and blessings.

I appreciate the perspectives that this book offers.

Tales for Transforming Adversity: A Buddhist Lama's Advice for Life's Ups and Downs is an easy read but one which gives the reader much to think about regarding their own reactions to various situations. The author's lessons are set forth in anecdotes and parables.

One thing that frustrated me is that several mantras were set forth in the book, but there is no English translation as to what they say or mean. You are supposed to repeat them as written, noting that pronunciation is important. Well, since I don't speak that language, odds of the mantra helping me are nil. It would be much more helpful to have an English translation of them.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Wisdom Publications for allowing me to read and review this book.

A sage, compassionate and thoughtful little book. One you can return to again and again.
