Features: This book will unveil the mystery of death and decode the life's secrets of reincarnation and liberation. Why are we born? Where do we go when we die? The topic of life and death has long puzzled humanity since ancient times, mysterious and profound. The study of death and rebirth has a long history in ancient Tibet. This "Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" presents us with a guiding map for the journey of death and is considered a monumental work in the study of life and death.
Everyone will eventually face death. This book delves into how we can understand the meaning of life, how to accept death, and how to help the dying, the deceased, and their concerned families who stay by their sides. Through the recitation of teachings by a master or assistants, the dying can pass through the final moments of their lives peacefully and safely, overcoming the terror of the dissolution of the physical body. The best outcome we aim for through this book is to guide the deceased or the dying to see the radiant light, transcend the cycle of life and death, seize the eternal opportunity death offers, and enter the perfect state of liberation.
A secret work by the most revered Tibetan master Padmasambhava, newly revealed after 1200 years, this classic of Vajrayana death studies is accompanied by 400 hand-drawn illustrations and diagrams, teaching you to face death with ease and master practical Vajrayana methods for end-of-life care.
