The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
by Andrew Harvey
In this major and comprehensive work, Buddhist meditation master and international speaker Sogyal Rinpoche brings together the ancient wisdom of Tibet with modern research on death and dying and the nature of the universe. With unprecedented scope, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying clarifies the majestic vision of life and death that underlies The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Sogyal Rinpoche presents simple yet powerful practices from the heart of the Tibetan tradition that anyone, whatever their religion or background, can do to transform their lives, prepare for death and help the dying. Rinpoche shows the hope there is in death: how we can go beyond denial and fear to discover what it is in us that survives death and is changeless. He presents a lucid, inspiring, and complete introduction to the practice of meditation, to karma and rebirth, and to the trials and rewards of the spiritual path. He gives advice on how to care for the dying with love and compassion and offer them spiritual assistance. Rinpoche presents his own vision of the near-death experience from the Tibetan perspective. He explains in detail the "bardos", those states of consciousness after death that have fascinated and tantalized Western artists, psychologists, scientists, doctors, and philosophers ever since the publication of The Tibetan Book of the Dead in 1927. The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is not only a spiritual masterpiece but also a manual, a guide, a work of reference, and a source of sacred inspiration. It has been written to inspire all who read it to begin the journey to enlightenment and so become "servants of peace", working in the world with joy, wisdom, and compassion to take part insafeguarding the future of humanity.
Luminous Emptiness
by Francesca Fremantle
THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD, a best-seller for three decades, is one of the most widely read texts of Tibetan Buddhism. Over the years, it has been studied and cherished by Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. LUMINOUS EMPTINESS is a detailed guide to this classic work, elucidating its mysterious concepts, terms, and imagery. Fremantle relates the symbolic world of THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD to the experiences of everyday life, presenting the text not as a scripture for the dying, but as a guide for the living.

"An authoritative and first unabridged translation of a major Buddhist text.

Now, with this full translation of clarity and beauty, a complete The Tibetan Book of the Dead has finally been made available in English. With an introduction by His Holiness The Dalai Lama, who calls this translation 'an extraordinary accomplishment undertaken with great care over many years,' The Tibetan Book of the Dead reflects the insights and intentions of the original work. The text includes one of the most detailed and compelling descriptions of the after-death state in world literature and contains exquisitely written practices that can transform our experience of daily life and the process of dying. Translated with the close support of leading contemporary Buddhist masters, The Tibetan Book of the Dead is 'a source of inspiration and support to many interested people around the world,' proclaims His Holiness The Dalai Lama. / Gyurme Dorje, Ph.D., is a leading scholar of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
