Critics Review
“Presents many different points of view and practices found within Tibetan Buddhism, and the author is skillful in introducing them within their proper context, so that the reader can understand their underlying significance. Particularly inspiring is the ‘heart-advice’ in Part Three, drawn from interviews with a selection of Tibetan masters. This advice ranges from a focus on specific rituals to the simplicity of the Dzogchen approach, but all emphasize the fundamental importance of one’s state of mind: for those who are dying, letting go, and for those who attend them, love.“—Francesca Fremantle, translator of The Tibetan Book of the Dead
