Existence is an endless cycle of experience called the four bardos. These four periods include our present life, the process of dying, the after-death experience, and the quest for a new rebirth. Drawing from his intimate knowledge of the innermost Vajrayana teachings, the Tibetan master Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche presents in The Bardo Guidebook straightforward, direct instructions on how to deal with the four bardos.

A MASTER'S WORK,
By
This review is from: The Bardo Guidebook (Paperback)
An extraordinary introduction to -- and preparation for -- the art of living and dying. "The Bardo Guidebook" is written in astonishingly elegant, simple prose, and provides a great service: the mere act of reading it diminishes one's personal pain and suffering. The book, written by a Tibetan rinpoche, is a living thing that needs to be read each day. The translation is lyrical and pellucid, yet pulls no punches; it is mountain-stream clear. If I were to live out the rest of my days with just three books, this (and something by Dickens and Faulkner) would be among them. -- BRUCE WAGNER, LOS ANGELES

Superb,
This review is from: The Bardo Guidebook (Paperback)
The Bardo Guidebook contains ancient teachings made current, brought into the now through the artful language, precision, and clarity of translator Erik Pema Kunsang. This book is a gift handed by the universe to the Rinpoche, by the Rinpoche to Erik Pema Kunsang, and by him to us.
