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 in safeguarding the future of humanity.

Sogyal Rinpoche was born in Tibet and raised by one of the most revered spiritual masters of this century, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. With the Chinese occu-pation of Tibet, he went into exile with his master, who died in 1959 in Sikkim in the Himalayas. After university studies in Delhi and Cambridge, England, he acted as translator and aide to several leading Tibetan masters, and began teaching in the West in 1974. Rinpoche sees his life's task as transplanting the wisdom of the Buddha to the West by offering training in the vision set out in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. This training can enable those who follow it to understand, embody, and integrate Buddhist teachings into their everyday lives.
Rinpoche's reputation as an authority on the teachings associated with The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and his dialogue with leading figures in the fields of psychology, science, and healing make him a sought-after speaker at international conferences and lectures. He travels extensively, teaching in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, and is the founder and spiritual director of Rigpa, a network of Buddhist centers and groups around the world.

As Tibet's famous poet saint, Milarepa, said: "My religion is to live---and die--without regret."

Question:1,Why is death so positive in Buddism?despite of all the glorious aspects of death, it's still death, i mean, death represents the end of life. Or, begging of a after life.One cannot go back to the original self after death.The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow, the longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! he lives for what is always out of reach! his thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present. <原文开始></原文结束>---CHUANG TZUAs Tibet's famous poet saint, Milarepa, said: "My religion is to live---and die--without regret." "Natural of mind", realization of the nature of mind, which you could call our innermost essence, that truth we all search for, is the key to understanding life and death. For what happens at the moment of death is that the ordinary mind and its delusions die, and in that gap the boundless sky-like nature of our mind is uncovered. This essential natural of mind is the background to the whole of life and death, like the sky, which folds the whole universe in its embrace. A description of the nature of mind leads naturally into a complete instruction on meditation, for mediation is the only way we can repeatedly uncover and gradually realize and stabilize that nature of mind. An explanation will then be given of the nature of human evolution, rebirth, and karma, so as to provide and context of our path through life and death. The bardo teachings show us precisely what will happen if we prepare for death and what will happen if we do not. The choice could be clearer. If we refuse to accept death now, throughout our lives, at the moment of death, and thereafter. The effects of this refusal will ravage this life and all the lives to come. We will not be able to live our lives fully; we ourselves that has to die. This ignorance will rob and trap us endlessly in the realm of illusion, ocean of suffering that we Buddists call samara. Yet the fundamental message of the Buddist teachings is that if we are prepared, there is tremendous hope, both in life and death. The teachings reveal to us the possibility of an astounding and finally boundless freedom, which is ours to work for now, in life--the freedom that will also enable us to choose our death and so to choose our rebirth. For someone who has prepared and practiced, death comes not as a defeat but a triumph, the glowing and most glorious moment of life.
