Description
Buddhist meditation master and popular international speaker Sogyal Rinpoche here brings together, for the first time, the majestic vision of life and death that underlies the Tibetan tradition and modern research on death and dying. He also presents a lucid, inspiring and complete introduction to the prac- tice of meditation and compassion, to karma and rebirth, and to the trials and rewards of the spiritual path. Rinpoche offers his own vision of the near-death experience from the Tibetan perspective and explains in detail the 'bardos', those states of consciousness after death that have fascinated and tantalised Westerners since they were first exposed to them in The Tibetan Book of the Dead.
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying has been written to inspire all who read it to begin the journey to enlightenment, and so become what Rinpoche calls 'servants of peace', working in the world with wisdom and compassion to take direct part in safeguarding the future of humanity.
