In Tibet, a lama is not only a teacher, but also a wise person, a priest, a doctor, and a spiritual healer who helps the dying person prepare for death, and his family and friends to cope with the loss.
A student of the great Tibetan lamas Sogyal Rinpoche describes Buddhist practices that help to survive the death of a loved one.
How to support the dying? How to prepare yourself for a breakup? How to accept the inevitability of death and learn to live with this feeling?
In the fourteen years since its first publication, Sogyal Rinpoche’s book has had a tremendous impact on modern concepts of death and has become a practical guide for several humanitarian organizations involved in caring for the dying and psychologically helping their families.
