"The Mind and Its Functions" is a useful addition to any intermediate to advanced study of Tibetan Buddhist meditation (or tantra) practice. The late Geshe Rabten is a skilled and evocative guide to traditional Tibetan Dharma disciplines, especially for Western practitioners who have been actively studying under a Tibetan master. However, this detailed guide to the mind is not an appropriate introduction to the subject, and will not benefit those students who have not already explored their own consciousness under the guided instruction of a traditional Tibetan Buddhist spiritual master. This book is a detailed adjunct road map to consciousness that cannot replace the living experience of an expertly guided tour of the actual terrain of one's own mind.

Couldn't get past page 19. What is a Buddhist monk doing holding a puppy? For some this is terribly uncouth, monks are not to touch dogs etc. For me it's just politically correct drivel. I geuss the author is cute like the puppy. Not what I was looking for in Buddhist literature.

At very first glance and at very first reading, the book would seem to be a laundry list of mental functions and how they are considered in Buddhism. However, if the items are taken slowly and related to other things that one has come across in the study of Buddhist philosophy, then they are fine points to ponder and they expand one's knowledge. Definitely not a book you read like a novel.
Rated by buyers -
Not conducive to insight. Utility is questionable.
Book is literally a catalog of definitions.
