REVIEW
"Very few things are more important than helping people come to terms with death - how to think about it, prepare self and others for it, and, just in case, navigate it oneself when the time comes. It is the great secret way to enrich one's life, to live more vibrantly, happily, and lovingly. Ponlop Rinpoche's excellent book, Mind Beyond Death, is a great contribution. Read it and it will open doors for you into a new vision of life."- -- Robert Thurman, Jey Tsong Khapa Professor, Columbia University; translator of Tibetan Book of the Dead
