Summary:
‘Everyone dies, but nobody is dead,’ goes the Tibetan saying. It is with these phrases that Guidance on Dying takes flight. Utilizing a seventeenth- century poem compiled by a prominent scholar-practitioner, His Holiness the Dalai Lama attracts from a wide range of customs and values to explore the stages we all go through when we perish, which will be the very same stages we experience in fife when we fall asleep, faint, or reach orgasm (Shakespeare’s ‘little death’).
The levels are described so vividly that people can imagine the process of traveling deeper in to the mind, on the best journey of change. In this way, His Holiness displays us how to prepare for that time and, in doing this, how exactly to enrich our time on earth, die without fear or upset, and influence the stage between this lifestyle and the next so that we may gain the best possible incarnation. As usually, the ultimate objective is to advance along the road to enlightenment. Suggestions on Dying can be an essential device for attaining that eternal bliss.
