Description
The most graceful English translation of this masterpiece of world literature - prepared with the
participation of the Dalai Lama and eminent contemporary masters of this tradition appointed by the Dalai
Lama. One of the greatest works created by any culture and one of the most influential of all Tibetan Buddhist
texts in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished translations, but strangely
all of these have been partial abridgements. Now the entire text has not only been made available in English
but in a translation of quite remarkable clarity and beauty. A comprehensive guide to living and dying, The
Tibetan Book of the Dead contains exquisitely written guidance and practices related to transforming our
experience in daily life, on the processes of dying and the after-death state, and on how to help those who
are dying.
As originally intended this is as much a work for the living, as it is for those who wish to think beyond
a mere conventional lifetime to a vastly greater and grander cycle. 'Extraordinary ... this work will be a
source of inspiration and support to many' His Holiness the Dalai Lama. About the authors: Commentary by His
Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Thupten Jinpa is the senior translator to the Dalai Lama and President of the Institute of Tibetan
Classics. Graham Coleman is founder of the Orient Foundation for Arts and Culture, a major Tibetan cultural
conservancy organization, and writer-director of the acclaimed feature documentary Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy.
Gyurme Dorje is a leading scholar of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, from which the Tibetan Book of
the Dead literature derives.

Description
Full of insights and very practical, this important book by the Dalai Lama shows that self-knowledge is
the key to personal development and creating positive relationships. How to See Yourself As You Really Are is
based on a fundamental Buddhist belief that love and insight work together to bring about enlightenment,
like two wings of a bird. It provides a new perspective on the psychological problems of hurting ourselves
through misguided, exaggerated notions of self, others, events and physical things. It shows how even our
senses deceive us, drawing us into unwise attachments and negative actions that can only come back to haunt
us in the future.
Drawing on wisdom and techniques refined in Tibetan monasteries for more than a thousand years, and
adopting as its structure traditional Buddhist steps of meditative reflection, How to See Yourself As You
Really Are includes practical exercises and gives readers a clear path to assess their growth and personal
development. The book is enlivened throughout with warm personal anecdotes and intimate accounts of the Dalai
Lama's experiences as a life-long student, a meditator, a political leader and an international figure working
with other Nobel Peace Laureates to address crises around the world. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the
spiritual leader of Tibet.
Today, he lives in exile in Northern India and works tirelessly on behalf of the Tibetan people, as well
as travelling the world to give spiritual teachings to sell-out audiences. He was awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1989.
