A manual for life and death and a source of sacred inspiration from the heart of the Tibetan tradition\, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying provides a lucid and inspiring introduction to the practice of meditation\, to the nature of mind\, to karma and rebirth\, and to the trials and rewards of the spiritual path.

I sought to show the practical nature of its ancient teachings and how they can help us at every stage of living and dying. Many people\, over the years\, had urged me to write this book.
