Synopsis

A newly revised and updated edition of the internationally best-selling spiritual classic, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, written by Sogyal Rinpoche, is the ultimate introduction to Tibetan Buddhist wisdom. An enlightening, inspiring, and comforting manual for life and death that the New York Times calls, “The Tibetan equivalent of [Dante’s] The Divine Comedy,” this is the essential work that moved Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions, to proclaim, “I have encountered no book on the interplay of life and death that is more comprehensive, practical, and wise.” This 30th Anniversary edition includes a foreword by the Dalai Lama and is masterfully narrated by Lorraine Velez. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©2002 Rigpa Fellowship (P)

Abanar Até Acordar "Se tudo morre e muda, então o que é realmente verdadeiro? Há alguma coisa por detrás das aparências, algo ilimitado e infinitamente amplo, onde a dança da mudança e impermanência tem lugar? Há algo com que possamos de facto contar, que sobreviva ao que chamamos morte?" "Saiba que t......more

I love this book with a passion. The Essential Phowa practice has sustained me through so much loss and I have practiced it countless times over many years. So many sad losses - beautiful A'ine who was only 17 and sent a butterfly as she continued on her journey. My soul sister, Margaret, how I miss......more
