| "What
is it that I hope for from this book? To inspire
a quiet revolution in the whole way we look at
death and care for the dying, and the whole way
we look at life and care for the living." |

| An acclaimed spiritual
masterpiece, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is
a manual for life and death, and a magnificent source of sacred
inspiration from the heart of the Tibetan tradition. Sogyal
Rinpoche delivers a lucid and inspiring introduction to the
practice of meditation, to karma and rebirth, to care and
love for the dying, and to the trials and rewards of the spiritual
path. This jewel of Tibetan wisdom is the definitive new spiritual
classic for our times. |

| "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." |

|
|
| "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." |

| "A magnificent
achievement. In its power to touch the heart,
to awaken consciousness, it is an inestimable
gift." |
