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.

曾经在我迷乱的时候，对于这本书难以阅读下去。这次我带着虔诚的心再次打开，并认真的做着笔记与导图，然而前面因为内观过的感同身受的支持外，后半部分令我厌烦不已。一直想做文学评论但是不知不觉的难以逃开批评，或许，这又一次提醒我去走进内在，看看那里在发生着什么，为...  

第一次阅读这本书，是某日值班，将某病人打包之后。疲倦如潮水涌来，当时只有我同另外一位师兄轮流换班，又是在死亡率极高的心血管科，然后颈椎病就发了。发病的时候，居然还想，靠，震震欲扑地阿，标准真武汤证。 后来就抓人来给我做推拿，最后找到胡师兄头上。...

很有启发性 慢慢读

人生=无常

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。
