"I read this book and took from it what I needed and left the weird stuff for others. What I took was significant and very helpful, and I keep this book around to re-read those passages. I believe anyone can find something in this book useful to them personally, but probably not all of it. Prepare to be frightened when you come across the writing that speaks to you, most likely at the start. If you are broken and as spiritually wounded as I was when I began this book, also prepare to be overwhelmed. But it is very possible you will find peace, solace, and maybe even change some of your life and thinking habits for the better. It holds very healing advice.
From a text book point of view, if your interest is restricted wholly to understanding the concept of Buddhism, this book is well written, very clear, and aimed specifically to the Western reader with all things laid out for the purpose of our being able to understand the religion. I can't imagine anyone not gleaning something useful from "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.""
Every time I read a paragraph in this book, I can feel my pulse slow, & my heart open. I drop back into myself and remember why I'm here. I remember to be a human being & not just a human doing. This slowing has happened enough that now even just looking at the book across the room has a similar effect.
My mother loaned me her copy -- not sure she's gonna get it back soon as it is such a powerful reminder for me."
"WISDOM FOR ALL OF US, WHETHER LIVING, DYING, OR GRIEVING
Stunning book presenting Tibetan Buddhist philosophy in an easily understood and moving way. I bought this to help myself as I grieved for my mother. I couldn't put it down. Buddhists say you can know only two things for sure in life: 1. You will die. and 2. You don't know when. Makes the time you have on earth very poignant."
"A friend referred this book to me when my elderly parents were ill, father had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and mother had dementia/Alzheimer's. They lived much longer than I had expected, maybe allowing me to finish reading this book of a different religion, yet with beliefs and ceremonies very similar to my Catholic rearing. In depth explanations and instructions inspiring the mental and spiritual preparations to the dying life, death, and grieving of a family member, friend, and/or acquaintance."
