Summary: Refreashing !!! Brings eastern spirtuality to the west
Review: The first time I read this book I kept a highlighter next to me because there were so many passages that just made sense of things to me.It was beautiful and refreashing, and opened me up to so many new ideas, it really changed my life. I have read it again and again, and I still find new maening in it. You can read a little at a time to simply reminded you of the ideas described in this book, or read it to help you get through a difficult time in your life, the bottom line, a new look at living that ANYONE can benefit from!

Summary: YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK !!!!!!!!!
Review: If you had to pick one book to read in this lifetime, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, by Sogyal Rinpoche would be the one. I have read many, many books on many topics, I have traveled all over the world and have seen many things, but nothing even compares to reading this book. To read this book is to truely become worldly. All I can say is, I wish for everyone to have the opportunity to read this book. Take a good look at yourself before you read the book and than look at yourself in the mirror again after you read the book. You will not see the same person when you first started. All you will be able to say is: I have got to tell someone about this book, I have to talk to someone about this book, I have to share this.

Summary: The Nectar of Life ...Revealed
Review: I sometimes find it hard to speak after reading some chapters in Sogyal Rinpoche's beautiful guide for living and dying with grace. I count myself among the most fortunate beings to be able to not only read his words but also to be able to study with him each week. There isn't anything that he reveals to us that won't touch the heart and make one's life more sharply focused. There isn't one among us who hasn't been touched by death, sickness or suffering in someway and his immense compassion, humor and clarity helps to ease much of our pain.Rinpoche tells it like "it is" in words that soothe, annoy, inflame, calm or caress our bleeding hearts. He guides us through life, its beginnings and its end with a subtle and astounding clarity and healing quality that is lacking in our everyday experiences. Death becomes less fearful and life is illuminated as the joy it can be. One wonders how one ever became so enmeshed in ignorance and "forgot" the beauty of ourselves. It becomes less of a chore or trial to forget the "self" and get lost in what it means to be human. The development of compassion, patience and wisdom is all one can hear through these words. Placing oneself in Rinpoche's care is like a joyful surrender and he skillfully guides you to the ultimate blessings of the "nature of mind" and "ones heart". Anyone who has read the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" and been puzzled or confused needs only to spend time with Rinpoche's illuminating words for clarification. As all great Masters, he claims to practice not enough, know very little and is one who is still learning more. However, whatever he knows, has learned and practiced is meritoriously given to us with a sincere and loving motive. Read it, read it again and then some more. Write down your thoughts, examine your feelings and then read it again. Life will never be the same nor will you want it to be. Discover the joy, bliss, songs of the heart, smiles and spontaneous laughter hidden within you, while finding all the wisdom, compassion, patience and love for others you may have hidden from yourself. Rinpoche is food for your hungry heart! Read this book 100 times as each introduction is more revealing. If a chapter challenges you, accept it as a challenge and read it again, again and again! Take this classic to work , on vacation, while traveling but mostly take it into your heart...you will not ever be disappointed! Confused by the review? Then read the book again.

Summary: A Must Read for anyone seeking the Truth
Review: Regardless of what spiritual Path you are on, this book is invaluable. Sogyal Rinpoche cuts across the lines of sectarianism and pours Truth and Compassion from his heart. This book will speak to you, regardless of your religious or philisophical affilation(s). As an aside, anyone who wants to see the humorous side of this Bodhisattva, get the movie Little Buddha--you'll love him in it!!! :-D

Summary: The owners manuel to life.
Review: Why do we do the things we do? This book will open your eyes to the wastefulness of our every day lives and how we waste precious energy on desire's and useless needs. Our "Active Laziness" as Rinpoche calls it drains us from what we should really be doing, thinking, and feeling. If you ever read "Tuesdays with Morrie" you will see this kind of thinking. Rinpoche will explain how and why every breath you take and every step you take should be chrerished as if it was your last, but not in a morbid way, but instead in a positve way.Read this book to better your self in every way.
