The Tibetan Book
of Living and Dying
SOGYAL RINPOCHE
Revised and Updated
Edited by
PATRICK GAFFNEY AND ANDREW HARVEY
I WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, Dudjom Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, Khyentse Sangyum Khandro Tsering Chödrön, and all my beloved masters, who have been the inspiration of my life.
May this book be a guide to liberation, read by the living, and to the dying, and for the dead.
May it help all who read it and spur them on their journey to enlightenment!
