Living, Dreaming, Dying: Wisdom for Everyday Life from the Tibetan Book of the Dead

I bought this book 8 years ago (for me). I just recently began reading it and it is very helpful in understanding our life process. I find the book very easy to read and some explicit instructions of things we can do to help live happy today (without resentments, etc.) AND to have a peaceful transition. I bought this book awhile back to lend to my friends, so I could keep my own copy!

This book inspired my practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Mr. Nairn makes personal issues universal, and points out remedies for our suffering. He makes his reader want to try these techniques for the reader's own benefit while making it clear how we all benefit from them. This is a truly excellent introduction to Vajrayana Buddhism. Buy two, because you'll want to give one to a friend. I did!

Good book but there are so many possibilities now in the area of Buddhist death awareness studies.I suggest looking into the books written by Tibetan Masters which, however, are not automatically goodjust because of who wrote them. Ideally, reading should inspire Practice...

Mr Nairn is a wonderful teacher. This book provides a very clear road map to guide one through the thinking of Buddhists in reference to our life, our dreams and what awaits us in death. I appreciated the very grounded explanations of the Tibetan Book of the Dead and the exercises to help one with the work of recognizing our own emotional blockages.

This is a wonderful book, Living, Dreaming, Dying: Wisdom for Everyday Life from the Tibetan Book of the Dead by Rob Nairn. I read it a few years ago and gave the book to my sister who has read it over and over again and loves it. Each time, she finds more wisdom. I am purchasing the book for a second time to read it again.

The book is a western interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The book enlightens our mental presence which admits compassion into our lives, as we practice being here now.

Wonderful way to combine Western psychology with Eastern precepts.

Opens up a new space for mental and emotional growth. The language is easily digestible and key concepts are explained with transparency. I’m this book is one I will read many times over and dip in and out. Every time something new emerges for me. Highly recommend.

Questo libro mi ha incantato .. l'ho tenuto un anno a casa prima di aprirlo, ora l'ho finalmente iniziato e anche se sono solo a metà, vorrei veramente consigliarlo a tutti, almeno a tutti coloro che sono interessati o attratti da questi temi. E' toccante perchè parla (anche) della morte che è un vero tabù nella nostra società, ma è talmente semplice, profondo e autentico, che lo leggo ovunque. E' scritto in un linguaggio diretto, chiaro, comprensibile per noi occidentalie allo stesso tempo fedele agli insegnamenti originali.In inglese non è difficile da leggere, comunque esiste anche l'edizione in italiano.

Great life changing book

Big inspiration in every aspects of LIFE in present.
