The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche

‘And it is important never to forget that the effect of our actions depends entirely on the intention or motivation behind them...'

In his foreword to the book, the 14th Dalai Lama says:

‘In this timely book, Sogyal Rinpoche focuses on how to understand the true meaning of life, how to accept death, and how to help the dying, and the dead...Death and dying provide a meeting point between the Tibetan Buddhist and modern scientific traditions. I believe both have a great deal to contribute to each other on the level of understanding and practical benefit.

‘Sogyal Rinpoche is particularly well placed to facilitate this meeting; having been born and brought up in the Tibetan tradition, he has received instructions from some of our greatest Lamas. Having also benefited from a modern education and lived and worked in the West, he has become well acquainted with Western ways of thought.’
