reviews:
"Sogyal Rinpoche.... has delivered the Tibetan equivalent of The
Divine Comedy. one could imagine that this is what Dante might have
written had he been a Buddhist metaphysician rather than a
Christian poet."
- New York Times Book Review
"Rinpoche's teachings have much to offer.... his down-to-earth
tone, peppered with songs and poetry from Buddhist sages, takes
away much of the intense fear of death and makes it seem like an
old friend."
- Los Angeles Times
"a magnificent achievement. in its power to touch the heart, to
awaken consciousness, it is an inestimable gift."
- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"i have encountered no book on the interplay of life and death that
is more comprehensive, practical and wise. the perspective is
forthrightly and profoundly Tibetan, but it is expounded so clearly
that the reader has no trouble discerning on every page its
universal import."
- Huston Smith, author of The World's
Religions
"a clear-eyed and contemporary exploration of the profound insight
of The Tibetan Book of the Dead."
- Stephen Levine, author of Turning Toward the
Mystery
"this book is an extraordinary blessings: heartfelt, wise,
practical, luminous - filled with inspiring stories, skillful
teachings and the great compassionate heart of the Buddha."
- Jack Kornfield, author of After the Ecstasy, the
Laundry
