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

This book speaks directly to the human spirit,to the timeless being inside each of us. The Bardo Guidebook gives us a glimpse into our true nature, and what it means to be human. If you can read,read this book.

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.
