PEACEFUL DEATH, JOYFUL REBIRTH: A Tibetan Buddhist Guidebook

by Tulku Thondup

“A healing treasure from Tulku Thondup: a clear, complete, and compassionate guidebook to the journey through life, dying, death, and beyond. Drawing on an extraordinary range of sources, including the Tibetan near-death experiences, he shows to what extent the quality of our life, death, and rebirth all depend upon the mind.”—Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

Now in paper, with a special CD containing special guided meditations, the book includes:
  • An overview of the dying process, the after-death bardo states, and teachings on why, where, and how we take rebirth;
  • Accounts by Tibetan "near-death experiencers" (delogs), who returned from death with amazing reports of their visions;
  • Ways to train our minds during life, so that at death, all the phenomena before us will arise as a world of peace;
  • Simple meditations, prayers, and rituals to benefit the dead and dying;
  • Advice for caregivers, helpers, and survivors of the dying.
“Remarkably lucid....a provocative and surprisingly compelling work that will appeal to beginners and advanced practitioners alike.”—Publishers Weekly
