Synopsis
A specialized treatise on Tibetan Buddhism., This modern interpretation of the classic text THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD offers inspiring and illuminating Buddhist tenets on how to live a rewarding and meaningful life in the face of our inevitable death. Sogyal Rinpoche has dedicated himself to enlightening the western world about the inspiring beliefs inherent to Buddhism, and this book represents the collective efforts of his years of studying and teaching around the globe, offering essential wisdom for both curious beginners and long-time practitioners of Buddhism. With exceptionally lucid prose, Rinpoche documents how each person can embark on a path towards benevolent mindfulness by using meditation, contemplation, and an active consciousness to achieve a higher awareness of the life essence which surrounds us. He also explains how people's confusion and ignorance in regards to the afterlife inevitably accelerates the destruction of the planet, and shows how a wider acceptance of reincarnation offers enormous benefits for both the living and the dead.
