The Tibetan Book Of Living And Dying

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying introduces Tibetan Buddhist teachings on meditation, compassion, impermanence, dying, and rebirth. Drawing on the Bardo Thodol—often known in English as The Tibetan Book of the Dead—it connects traditional Buddhist perspectives with practical reflections for contemporary readers. The book offers guidance on living with awareness, preparing for death, supporting dying people, and responding to grief. Revised editions were edited by Patrick Gaffney and Andrew Harvey; the current 30th-anniversary Rider edition was published in 2024.
