This book represents an apex in human wisdom: it is a radiant gem transmitting the accumulated insights of centuries of Tibetan Buddhism. With great gentleness and penetrating clarity, it boldly asks us to see death not as an ‘if or a ‘when’ but as a ‘how’.
‘It is no accident that this book arrives in the West at this historical moment, for we need this knowledge now more than ever before. This is a time when we must learn to live on this Earth -and depart from it in a new way, a way that embodies great delicacy and discernment. This is an instruction manual on how to do it. It would be a mistake to postpone our confrontation with Tibetan wisdom because it is ancient. The truth is, it is timeless; and we need it desperately
– Larry Dossey
‘Sogyal Rinpoche belongs to the last generation of Tibetans who grew up among eminent masters of the Buddhist tradition, and subsequently blended skilfully into the Western world. In this his first book, his capacity for being a bridge between these two worlds shines through vividly. He has chosen to focus on the reality of death, which, in his presentation, becomes a celebration and search for the very ground of life. That is a message that will be of interest to all, whether Buddhist or not. I am particularly moved by his unceasing and intelligent devotion to his tradition and his teachers; read this book and savour the lovingness of this special link’
– Francisco J. Varela, author of The Embodied Mind
