There's More To Dying Than Death: A Buddhist Perspective

Drawing from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of approaching and preparing for death, Lama Shenpen Hookham offers Westerners like herself practical descriptions of the attitudes, the practices, and the considerations that surround our own death, caring for those dying and also care-givers. Of great interest to those seeking a positive yet realistic coming to terms with death, its Buddhist context provides further teaching on the "Tibetan Books of the Dead," one of the most well-known Tibetan texts.

Lama Shenpen Hookham has practiced in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for over 30 years. With Khenpo Rinpoche her root teacher, she focuses on the Mahamudra and Dzogchen teachings. She is the author of "The Buddha Within" and "Progressive Stages of Meditation on Emptiness,"
