Here is everything we have made to support your study of Thầy's teachings, illustrations and additional explanations around Thầy's commentaries, a reference tool for the map of the mind, and the fifty verses themselves.
The map of the mindThe whole of the mind Thầy describes, in one place — the eight consciousnesses, the seeds, and the fifty-one mental formations with their families and valences, each in plain English. The reference to keep open beside the verses.
Open the Inner Landscape →All fifty verses, in the book's six parts. Pick one on the left and you get Thầy's own words, the illustration where we have made one, and the Reflections written on it — each one an evening we spent on that verse, written out for reading. Open whichever you want. The number beside a verse is how many it has.

The verses are Thich Nhat Hanh's, from Understanding Our Mind (Parallax Press) — shared freely by Plum Village and Deer Park Monastery, and reproduced here with gratitude.
