Profound yet accessible - By: C. Menon, 18 Dec 2008 
I first read this book 8 years ago & it provided answers to a lot of spiritual questions that had been unanswered up to that point. It is simply written but no less profound for that.
Even if you are not religious it provides help & reassurance during times of stress/bereavement. It helped me on a more spiritual path & yet is also full of humility & good humour.
I really can't recommend it highly enough.
If you read it & agree, check out:Diary of a Ghost
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 foundedin 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 really 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 really discussedin 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.
