5.0 out of 5 stars The book that changed my life, 1 Jun 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: A Spiritual Classic from One of the Foremost Interpreters of Tibetan Buddhism to the West (Paperback)

Of all the books I have ever read, this is the only one that changed my life. I read this book twice and continue to refer to it because I am now taking courses at the Rigpa (Buddhist) Center. Anyone who is curious about Buddhist teachings will find this book very valuable. For people who are more serious about finding meaning in life and lasting happiness, it is extremely helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, 13 Sep 2005

By	Mr. P. J. Richardson "seeksthebalance" (Leicester, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: A Spiritual Classic from One of the Foremost Interpreters of Tibetan Buddhism to the West (Paperback)

I found this book insightful and well explained. I had been interested in Buddhist philosophy for a while and was looking for a good introductory text. I found it in this book, which explains the fundamentals of Meditation and the Bardo teachings in language that is accessible to all.

There is also further commentary on the deeper implications of compassion in daily life and reference to further teachings that might be useful.

This book has changed a great deal about the way I lead my life. An excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and accessable, 30 Oct 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: A Spiritual Classic from One of the Foremost Interpreters of Tibetan Buddhism to the West (Paperback)

The wider implications of the Tibetian book of the dead are explained in this inspiring, beautiful book. Written by a master of the Dzogchen school, the Tibetian Book of Living and Dying gives us an incredible view of life and death. Most importantly, it asks us to consider wisely, what will happen at the time of our death, and when those close to us die. It also offers advice for looking after the dying, and stresses the importance of peace at such times.

An extremely valuable book, if you can take the advice and wisdom to heart, it may well be priceless.
