The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is the classic interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, as examined by reincarnated Master Sogyal Rinpoche from Tibet. Often heralded as the most accessible investigation of the text, the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying's storytelling prose and heartfelt erudition of these ancient teachings deeply elaborates on key Vajrayana Buddhist concepts such as meditation, mindfulness, Phowa practice, and the Guru-Disciple relationship. The heart of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying focuses on Tibetan Dream Yoga and Phowa practice as a way to incorporate death into our everyday lives in order to obtain ultimate liberation and freedom. Stressing the importance of lineage, adherence to the Eightfold Path, and understanding of the Four-Noble truths, the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying draws on the ancient tradition which brought the Dalai Lama to the Western World in hopes for an end to world-wide suffering.
