"This book was not written for runners alone, and it is not just for meditators. While the theme is based on running, the underlying message is relevant to many kinds of training, showing how any genuine activity can be a vehicle for discovering wakefulness. The Sakyong’s presentation is simultaneously personal and far-reaching. He states, “My meditation teachers taught me that with aggression you may accomplish some things, but with gentleness you can accomplish all things.” – Acharya Dale Asreal
