Many people die suddenly, alone or with great emotional suffering for themselves and their family. Many of us are ill prepared for the time of death.

Is it possible to enjoy our lives and, as a result, be better prepared for death as it approaches?

Buddhists know that how we live is how we will die. Living with joy and kindness, allows us to approach death with confidence and ease.

Death can be a smooth, natural and peaceful process, even a liberating event.

We offer this beginner's book, based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, so that anyone can achieve calmness and confidence as death approaches them or a loved one.

The natural result will then be for us to die peacefully.
