Reviews"One of the most brilliant Tibetan Buddhist teachers of his generation.... In this priceless and immensely practical guide, the complete spectrum of the Buddhist teachings on death is explained by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche with remarkable clarity and thoroughness. These ancient teachings, handed down by the great master Padmasambhava, can, if we take them to heart, revolutionize our modern view of life and death, and possess an extraordinary potential to transform our way of living and dying."—Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, "Mind Beyond Death goes a long way toward demystifying these teachings about the transition between one life and another and making them relevant to everyday life. 'The way to meet death fully,' says Ponlop Rinpoche, 'is to die every day, to every moment, to everything. To our thoughts, to our agony, to our emotions, to our loving relationships—even to our joy.' At forty-one, Ponlop Rinpoche, who makes his home in Seattle, is at the forefront of a new generation of traditionally trained Tibetan Buddhist scholar-teachers. You're sure to hear more from him in the future."—Shambhala Sun, " Mind Beyond Death picks up where the Tibetan Book of the Dead leaves off. . . . This stunning work will prepare the seeker of truth for the moments before during and beyond the material expiration of our body our vessel. . . . This reviewer has been reading esoteric spiritual texts since age seventeen and has never seen as clear and skillful a description. . . . Splendid."-- New Age Retailer "This is the most significant work in English on the six bardos since the publication of transcripts of two seminars given many years ago by my guru Chgyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Now once again these wonderful teachings are illuminated by the deep wisdom and compassion of a genuine master."--Francesca Fremantle, author of Luminous Emptiness: A Guide to the Tibetan Book of the Dead " Mind Beyond Death goes a long way toward demystifying these teachings about the transition between one life and another and making them relevant to everyday life. The way to meet death fully, says Ponlop Rinpoche, is to die every day to every moment to everything. To our thoughts to our agony to our emotions to our loving relationships--even to our joy. At forty-one, Ponlop Rinpoche, who makes his home in Seattle, is at the forefront of a new generation of traditionally trained Tibetan Buddhist scholar-teachers. You're sure to hear more from him in the future."-- Shambhala Sun, "Astonishing....Mind Beyond Death picks up where The Tibetan Book of the Dead leaves off...This stunning work will prepare the seeker of truth for the moments before, during, and beyond the material expiration of our body, our vessel....This reviewer has been reading esoteric spiritual texts since age 17 and has never seen as clear and skillful a description ....splendid."—Thomas Peter von Bahr, New Age Retailer, "Very few things are more important than helping people come to terms with death—how to think about it, prepare oneself and others for it, and, just in case, navigate it oneself when the time comes. It is the great secret way to enrich one's life, to live more vibrantly, happily, and lovingly. Ponlop Rinpoche's excellent book, Mind Beyond Death, is a great contribution. Read it and it will open doors for you into a new vision of life."—Robert Thurman, Jey Tsong Khapa Professor, Columbia University; translator of The Tibetan Book of the Dead
