Everyone dies, but no one is dead, goes a Tibetan saying that is this book's starting point. Using a 17th-century poem written by a prominent Buddhist scholar-practitioner, the Dalai Lama draws from a wide range of traditions and beliefs to explore the stages we all go through when we die. With poignant simplicity, this inspirational volume offers comfort to anyone seeking a more peaceful and liberating way of living and dying. (Simultaneous audio release.)
