Exceptional Coolness is a collection of selected quotes and paintings by author Xuemo, divided into two chapters. Chapter One: Awakening to Truth features the most brilliant passages from the Luminous Mahamudra Series, organized around the themes of “Seeking the Mind,” “Training the Mind,” “Pacifying the Mind,” and “Molding the Mind.” Chapter Two: Keywords of Life outlines ten most common phrases that one must grasp on the path to enlightenment, along with one hundred quotes picked from Xuemo’s works.

Xuemo once said, “To compile this book, the chief editor Xinyin reread all my works and personally typed out these words.” This book also includes exquisite pieces of calligraphy and ink paintings by Xuemo, making it highly collectible.
