RATING:
A-
I can
relate well to the calm peace that accompanies death in old Tibet. I
have found this to be the case in my own experience and it is nice to
know that I am not the only person with this attitude towards death,
which often seems to be the case for me. I can also relate to
accepting that anyone - from a friend to a bug - may once have been a
close relative or lover. This too I have found to be the case from
personal experience. In fact, I appear to have far much more in
common with Tibetan attitudes than those of the places I was born and
have lived.
The
ability to be at peace with dying - rather than desperately
struggling to keep the body alive by medical interventions I can also
relate to. I have no intention of forcing my body to outlast my all
with pill-popping, etc. When it is ready to expire, I will await my
next birth.
I
found this book to be a beautiful story of value both to those
seeking entertainment and those seeking to learn more of the Tibetan
culture. It taught me that many things I had believed in but not found alive in my own were present in the Tibetan culture.
