Why read it?
1 author picked Making Sense of Mind Only as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Yogacara Buddhism offers a path to unwinding mental-emotional patterns that have been binding us and preventing a direct encounter with the peace and joy that is our true nature. How wonderful to have this as a resource!
From Elizabeth's list on psychological healing and spiritual inquiry.
