Book description
The most graceful English translation of this masterpiece of world
literature - translated and co-edited by three leading contemporary
masters of this tradition, appointed by the Dalai Lama himself
What is death? How can I help those who are dying? How can I prepare
for my own death? And how can I come to terms with bereavement?
Here is an accessible and moving introduction to The Tibetan Book
of the Dead, whose visionary perspective on living, dying, and
loss is one of the most inspirational and compelling in world literature.
With an introductory commentary by His Holiness the Dalai Lama,
Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss is a compilation of
writings from the first complete translation of The Tibetan Book of
the Dead, which explores these central questions. Each chapter
is introduced by the editor of the acclaimed first translation, Graham
Coleman. Based on his experience of bereavement and his knowledge of
contemporary near-death research, he reveals the immense creativity
that deepening our insight into the relationship between living and
dying can bring.
