El Libro Tibetano De La Vida Y La Muerte/ the Tibetan Book of Life and Death

Sogyal Rinpoche offers a guide to death, dying and the moments that follow, drawing on Tibetan Buddhist teaching and the lineage of his own teachers. He explains why facing mortality can open the way to a more awake life, and he describes practices such as meditation and preparing the mind for the moment of death. The book discusses the bardo, the intermediate state that Tibetan tradition describes between death and rebirth, and it considers how friends and carers can support someone who is dying. Along the way it turns to the grief of those left behind and to the wider question of how to live with death in view. Written for general readers rather than specialists, it combines traditional teaching with stories and advice meant to be used in ordinary life.
