The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

Sogyal Rinpoche was born in Tibet and raised by one of the most revered spiritual masters of this century, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. With the Chinese occu-pation of Tibet, he went into exile with his master, who died in 1959 in Sikkim in the Himalayas. After university studies in Delhi and Cambridge, England, he acted as translator and aide to several leading Tibetan masters, and began teaching in the West in 1974. Rinpoche sees his life's task as transplanting the wisdom of the Buddha to the West by offering training in the vision set out in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. This training can enable those who follow it to understand, embody, and integrate Buddhist teachings into their everyday lives.Rinpoche's reputation as an authority on the teachings associated with The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and his dialogue with leading figures in the fields of psychology, science, and healing make him a sought-after speaker at international conferences and lectures. He travels extensively, teaching in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, and is the founder and spiritual director of Rigpa, a network of Buddhist centers and groups around the world.

In this major and comprehensive work, Buddhist meditation master and international speaker Sogyal Rinpoche brings together the ancient wisdom of Tibet with modern research on death and dying and the nature of the universe. With unprecedented scope, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying clarifies the majestic vision of life and death that underlies The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Sogyal Rinpoche presents simple yet powerful practices from the heart of the Tibetan tradition that anyone, whatever their religion or background, can do to transform their lives, prepare for death, and help the dying.

Rinpoche shows the hope there is in death: how we can go beyond denial and fear to discover what it is in us that survives death and is changeless. He presents a lucid, inspiring, and complete introduction to the practice of meditation, to karma and rebirth, and to the trials and rewards of the spiritual path. He gives advice on how to care for the dying with love and compassion and offer them spiritual assistance.

Rinpoche presents his own vision of the near-death experience from the Tibetan perspective. He explains in detail the "bardos," those states of consciousness after death that have fascinated and tantalized Western artists, psychologists, scientists, doctors, and philosophers ever since the publication of The Tibetan Book of the Dead in 1927.

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is not only a spiritual masterpiece but also a manual, a guide, a work of reference, and a source of sacred inspiration. It has been written to inspire all who read it to begin the journey to enlightenment and so become "servants of peace," working in the world with joy, wisdom, and compassion to take part in safeguarding the future of humanity.

读后感

“对于死亡的恐惧和对来生的无知……没有谁教导人们死亡是什么，该如何死去，也没有人给予任何死后的希望，揭开生命的真相。” 并不把这本书当作佛教理论的普及介绍，更愿意看的是对生死的探讨。 有时候我想，宗教诞生的终极作用，也许只在于教会我们如何面对死亡。生的全部意...  

记得第一次面临失去至亲的时候，无论如何不能、不愿接受、面对挚爱亲人的就要离去。友人送了我《西藏生死之书》，说那是他在丽江发呆时一个小书店老板推介的。他说那时节北京大街小巷的书摊上都布满了这本书，本以为是本流行应景的书，可禁不住小老板的热情，买下。“这本书很...  

对西藏感兴趣已经很久了，虽然曾经匆匆去过两次，非常可惜的是，彼时纯粹是流于一个游者，注意的焦点也仅仅落在了那些雪山、圣湖、草原、寺庙，腐败的青稞酒、藏甜茶、牦牛肉，以及偶尔看到听到的打阿嘎、辩经、吟佛、雕刻玛尼石的匠人们。但，对于孕育了这片充满勾人心魄文化...  

这本书在汗牛充栋的藏传佛教的书籍中影响巨大。有人好奇书中描述的神秘转世，有人视它为临终关怀手册，有人把它作为修行的理论与实践，对于一个非宗教信仰者，我更愿意把它看作一本智慧之书。 智慧是什么？世事烦琐，迷惑众多，很多人把智慧当作打开心锁的钥匙。西藏著名的谚语...  

生是一种偶然，死是一种必然。 我们无法选择自己的出生，也必须接受自己的死亡。 我几乎时刻都会想到死亡，但并不是以消极厌世的方式，一方面我对死亡害怕恐惧，不知道何时死、怎样死，因此更加珍惜自己鲜活的生命，感恩知足；另一方面我对死亡疑惑敬畏，不知道什么是死、死后...  

用户评价

My introduction book (and maybe my last book) to Tibetan Buddhism.

很有启发性 慢慢读

其实我只读了1/5。开头很吸引人（死亡是修行的顶点，这点和日本禅宗非常相似），越往后越觉得鸡汤+卖弄。此人生于西康，因众人皆知的原因在印度长大（而且据说读的是天主教学校），后到英国留学，因为是个会英文的藏族人而逐渐受追捧。他虽自封达赖老师转世，但他本人不是和尚。在几十年前就被爆出猥亵女学生，作为控制狂语言+肢体暴力学生和下属，生活奢靡享乐，和外界勤俭朴素的形象判若两人。就连这本书都被爆出是他追随者代笔的。临死之前彻底晚节不保，被dl点名开除朋友圈，虽然他至死都没有承认错误。

推荐！！！！！！

人生=无常
