Popular Tibetan teacher Sogyal Rinpoche has transformed that ancient text, conveying a perennial philosophy that is at once religious, scientific, and practical. Through extraordinary anecdotes and stories from religious traditions East and West, Rinpoche introduces the reader to the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism, moving gradually to the topics of death and dying. Death turns out to be less of a crisis and more of an opportunity. Concepts such as reincarnation, karma, and bardo and practices such as meditation, tonglen, and phowa teach us how to face death constructively. As a result, life becomes much richer. Like Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Sogyal Rinpoche opens the door to a full experience of death. It is up to the reader to walk through. --Brian Bruya]]> 206731 12 2899219 book 1992 The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: The Spiritual Classic & International Bestseller; Revised and Updated Edition total:884|5:441|4:280|3:131|2:28|1:4| 884 3778 1518 142 60281 4.27 915 147 2907231 174013 206731 0062508342 9780062508348 122 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172681494m/206731.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172681494s/206731.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/206731.The_Tibetan_Book_of_Living_and_Dying_The_Spiritual_Classic_International_Bestseller_Revised_and_Updated_Edition 4.28 782 1992 0 3 false Tue Jul 10 10:55:09 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 17 00:09:57 -0800 2009 5881190 345818 206731 0062508342 9780062508348 122 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172681494m/206731.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172681494s/206731.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/206731.The_Tibetan_Book_of_Living_and_Dying_The_Spiritual_Classic_International_Bestseller_Revised_and_Updated_Edition 4.27 884 1992 5 2 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Fri Sep 07 22:37:10 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 17 09:32:22 -0800 2009 more...]]> 17395893 974233 1122210 0712657525 9780712657525 10 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181172599m/1122210.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181172599s/1122210.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1122210.The_Tibetan_Book_of_Living_and_Dying 4.37 43 Tibetan Book of the Dead.
