It includes not only a lucid, inspiring and complete introduction to the practice of meditation but also advice on how to care for the dying with love and compassion, and how to bring them help of a spiritual kind. But there is much more besides in this classic work, which was written to inspire all who read it to begin the journey to enlightenment and so become 'servants of peace.'
One of the international bestselling Buddhism books of all time * Book Authority *
Marvellous ... like all the greatest teachings, it is both simple and complex, and full of love and compassion -- Joanna Lumley
You don’t have to be a Buddhist to read it: its mastery lies in the lucid way it presents esoteric ideas * The Telegraph *
This book is an extraordinary blessing: heartfelt, wise, practical, luminous – filled with inspiring stories, skillful teachings, and the great compassionate heart of the Buddha. -- Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
A magnificent achievement. In its power to touch the heart, to awaken consciousness, it is an inestimable gift. * San Francisco Chronicle Book Review *
A clear-eyed and contemporary exploration of the profound insight of The Tibetan Book of the Dead -- Stephen Levine, author of Turning Toward the Mystery
I have encountered no book on the interplay of life and death that is more comprehensive, practical and wise -- Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions
For readers of all religions and readers of none * The Observer *
Sogyal Rinpoche...has delivered the Tibetan equivalent of The Divine Comedy. One could imagine that this is what Dante might have written had he been a Buddhist metaphysician rather than a Christian poet. * New York Times Book Review *
Rinpoche’s teachings have much to offer.... His down-to-earth tone, peppered with songs and poetry from Buddhist sages, takes away much of the intense fear of death and makes it seem like an old friend. * Los Angeles Times *
