The Tibetan book of living and dying

Book • 1992
Written by Sogyal Rinpoche, 'The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying' is a profound guide on the Tibetan Buddhist approach to life, death, and what lies beyond.

The book provides a lucid and inspiring introduction to the practice of meditation, the nature of mind, karma and rebirth, compassionate love, and care for the dying.

It explores themes such as the message of impermanence, the transformation of the mind through meditation, and the spiritual path in modern times.

The book also delves into the Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol) and offers practical advice on how to care for the dying and prepare for one's own death.

It has been widely praised for its comprehensive, practical, and wise approach to the interplay of life and death.
