The essence of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

As it says in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying,

"Impermanence has already revealed to us many truths, but it has a final treasure still in its keeping, one that lies largely hidden from us, unsuspected and unrecognized, yet most intimately our own.

The Western poet Rainer Maria Rilke has said that our deepest fears are like dragons guarding our deepest treasure. The fear that impermanence awakens in us, that nothing is real and nothing lasts, is, we come to discover, our greatest friend because it drives us to ask: If everything dies and changes, then what is really true?"

In this compilation of teachings, Sogyal Rinpoche explores the answer to these questions in an approachable and deeply human way.
