From Booklist
This moving and instructive treatise on how to live a meaningful life and face death without fear is the third volume in the Dalai Lama's lucid and inspiring Path to Enlightenment series, and in many ways, it is the most personal as the Dalai Lama, now in his sixties, acknowledges that age has intensified his meditation on death. Tibetan Buddhism conceives of existence in terms of eons worth of successive lifetimes, a cosmic perspective that enables the Dalai Lama to compare death to a change of clothes. His Holiness explains how meditation leads to the control of negative emotions and how the cultivation of a spiritual practice enriches not only our lives but also the lives of others. His Holiness writes, "The more altruistic we are, the happier we will be," and there's no simpler or surer first step on the path toward spirituality than to read His Holiness' wise and affectionate teachings.

Product Description
His Holiness the Dalai Lama's teachings--a beautiful and accessible presentation of the time-honored path to enlightenment--are one of the world's great spiritual treasures.
The Joy of Living and Dying in Peace is the third volume in the landmark Libraey of Tibet series. Bringing us closer to the essence of Buddhist teachings, and to his own peerless insight, the Dala Lama offers his thoughts on achieving a meanful life and death. At the heart of his eloquent presentation is this lesson: by cultivating compassion, wisdom, and positive thought and action--in short, by living a good life--we can approach death without fear or regret, and welcome our passage and rebirth.
