Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss: The Essential Tibetan Book of the Dead

With an introductory commentary by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss is a compilation of essential writings from the first complete translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead, whose visionary perspective on living, dying, and loss is one of the most inspirational in world literature. These selections address becoming more aware of our psychological habits; our understanding of the process of dying and the nature of the after-death state; and the challenge of bereavement. Drawing on his experience of loss and his knowledge of contemporary near-death research, editor Graham Coleman illuminates this ancient text's secrets, revealing the immense creativity that expanding our insight into the relationship between living and dying can bring.
