This is a book which explains the Tibetan understanding of what happens when a person dies, and how this can help us in our daily lives and in caring for the terminally ill and the bereaved. It addresses people of all faiths, and those who have none. It puts forward the message of Tibetan Buddhism, which like all great religions, teaches love and compassion. The author, Sogyal Rinpoche, is one of the foremost exponents of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. He sees it as his life's work to transplant the teachings of the Buddha to the West. The compact disks have been produced to coincide with the publication of the paperback edition of the book.
