Book excerpt: "To truly become an alchemist and transform all poisons into their cure, do something radical: exchange yourself for others and begin to suffer with. You will see that this is how compassion can finally be born." "The Medicine is in the Poison: Poems from the Path of Lojong" is Brandon Thompson's third book of ecstatic poetry. It combines and integrates the two greatest callings of Brandon's life: Buddhism and ecstatic poetry. This unprecedented collection is directly inspired by one of the world's most profound models of spiritual transformation: the lojong (mind-training) slogans, which themselves provide the foundation for Mahayana Buddhism. This volume is presented lovingly and humbly: not as a teaching, but as an offering. Not as a guide, but as a companion along the Way. It is not just a book for those on a Buddhist path, but stands as a practical and meaningful collection of inspirational poems for anyone on their own personal journey towards meaning, happiness, and fulfillment.
