First published 1920
Death is inevitable, but that doesn't mean we can't prepare for it. In "Advice on Dying," the Dalai Lama uses an ancient Tibetan poem to explore the stages of the dying process - the same stages we experience in life when we sleep, faint, or climax. By understanding this journey, we can learn to face our final moments with serenity, and even use them to advance along the path to enlightenment. With the Dalai Lama as our guide, we'll discover how to enrich our time on earth and influence the transition to our next life, ensuring the best possible rebirth.
