A review by lillyminasyan
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche
4.0
“We are fragmented into so many different aspects. We don´t know who we really are, or what aspects of ourselves we should identify with or believe in. So many contradictory voices, dictates, and feelings fight for control over our inner lives that we find ourselves scattered everywhere, in all directions, leaving nobody at home."
The book deals with how to accept death and how most people are scared of it, while it is inevitable. I really liked the first part of the book, but then it became a bit repetitive. Dying is normal, but we all fear it, but once we embrace the idea of dying, we can live peacefully with the thought that one day our loved ones will go and so we will and just every living thing on this planet.
if you have dealt with loss, you understand that it gets easier to live with it, you accept the reality. “Don’t worry about anything. Even if you find your attention wandering, there is no particular ‘thing’ you have to hold onto. Just let go, and drift in the awareness of the blessing. Don’t let small, niggling questions distract”
There were lots of parts in the book that I really liked. It is definitely a worthy book to read.
