    About Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss

    Selections from Penguin’s authoritative first complete translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead

    One of the most inspirational and compelling works in world literature, The Tibetan Book of the Dead presents a visionary exploration of both the after-death state and the inner workings of our perceptual states during life.

    Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss offers selected extracts from this influential text, focusing on perspectives and insights that are the most relevant to our modern experience of life, death, and loss. Each chapter is prefaced by the editor of the acclaimed unabridged translation, Graham Coleman. Here, in his accessible and moving essays, he illuminates the text’s secrets, revealing the immense creativity that deepening our insight into the relationship between living and dying can bring.

    About Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss

    A distillation of the acclaimed English translation of a revered Tibetan classic

    The Tibetan Book of the Dead is the most significant of all Tibetan Buddhist writings in the West and one of the most inspirational and compelling texts in world literature.

    In Meditations on Living, Dying and Loss, Graham Coleman, the editor of Viking?s acclaimed unabridged translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead, collects the most beautifully written passages, ones that draw out the central perspectives most relevant to modern experience: What is death? How can we help those who are dying? And how can we come to terms with bereavement? New to this edition are Coleman?s introduction and his brilliant and incisive essays, which preface each chapter and provide the seeker entrée to these ancient insights. With introductory commentary by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and a highly praised translation by Gyurme Dorje, this succinct but authoritative volume will convey the profundity of the original to those hungry for a better understanding of this life and the next.
