The topic of the reality of death is not generally embraced in Western culture, however, there is a great interest and openness. Rinpoche's clarity and blessings will be tremendously beneficial. By integrating these practices and this awareness into the Western culture, death can be transformed into a spiritual celebration rather than something heavy and dark. It will be a great blessing for everyone who reads this book. The reality of death is a very important spiritual opportunity for transformation. Rinpoche's combined teachings and practices lead the reader to an understanding of this reality and how to transform death into merit accumulations. These teachings will help loved ones use the grieving process for spiritual transformation as well as help the person who is dying to achieve a better future life."--Yangsi Rinpoche, president, Maitripa College<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lama Zopa Rinpoche</b> is one of the most internationally renowned masters of Tibetan Buddhism, working and teaching ceaselessly on almost every continent.
