the only book necessary - By: Jens Christian Schou, 31 Oct 2008 
I read 'The Tibetan Book of Living And Dying' in the course of 10 years - I simply had to stop to digest/meditate after almost every page. It is so filled with advice for the living, the dying, & those inbetween.
You don't have to be a buddhist to benefit from this book. Sogyal Rinpoche is so well founded in western thought & draws on many sources (including Elisabeth Kübler-Ross & Raymond Moody) ...and the writing is very straightforward.
I am very much looking forward to read it again ...and to give away a few more copies.
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. - By: Robert Simpson, 23 Oct 2008 Absolutely magnificent! This man is clearly a wonderful healer. Possibly the most beautiful book I have ever read.
Provoking - By: GlynCaeMawr, 18 Sep 2008 A book that reallly makes you think about how we deal with death & dying, both on a personal level & as a society. Very moving & inspirational.
Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die? - By: Dogs Thatchasecars, 09 Oct 2006 It's refreshing for someone to write such a thoughtful & life-affirming book about death. For something so ubiquitous, death isn't reallly discussed in Western society (well, in my family at least). And this can cause unnecessary pain when someone close does die.
Reading this book has helped me see that death can have a positive effect on your life.

An insightful read whether you're Buddhist or not. - By: Spider Monkey, 04 Jun 2006 This book as so much to offer whether you're Buddhist or not. It discusses ways to live your life better, as well as how to die in a dignified & honorable way. In a society where death is taboo it is refreshing to read about it in such a matter of fact way & with information you feel can be of use to you. This book is more about living your life well, & has so much to offer you if that is what you wish for. A modern classic for a reason.
