**Now That I Come to Die: Longchenpa’s Final Teachings on the Path to Liberation**

Longchenpa (1308-64), the revered master of the Nyingma tradition in Tibetan Buddhism, offers profound wisdom in *Now That I Come to Die*, a collection of three parting teachings. These texts serve as Longchenpa’s heartfelt final advice, encouraging students to engage fully in the path to liberation while time allows.

The first text, translated by Herbert V. Guenther, is a poetic expression of Longchenpa’s joyful realization—a spontaneous outpouring of beauty and wisdom. The second text explores the Four Immeasurables: Love, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity. Longchenpa provides practical guidance on cultivating these qualities, illuminating their power to deepen understanding and open the heart. His third text, a commentary on these “Immeasurably Great Catalysts of Being,” frames the Four Immeasurables as a gateway to transcendent realms of wisdom beyond words and concepts.

Additionally, Tarthang Tulku’s introduction includes Longchenpa’s life story, insights into the transformative nature of his teachings, and practical guidance on practicing Guru Yoga with Longchenpa. Through this carefully curated format, readers can easily carry and consult these precious teachings, which remind us of impermanence, the inseparability of mind and emptiness, and the vast, illuminating Dharmadhatu.
