Description: The Tibetan Book of the Dead (A Way of Life) Death is real, it comes without warning and it cannot be escaped. An ancient source of strength and guidance, The Tibetan Book of the Dead remains an essential teaching in the Buddhist cultures of the Himalayas. Narrated by Leonard Cohen, this enlightening two-part series explores the sacred text and boldly visualizes the afterlife according to its profound wisdom. "A Way of Life" reveals the history of The Tibetan Book of the Dead and examines its traditional use in northern India, as well as its acceptance in Western hospices. Shot over a four-month period, the film contains footage of the rites and liturgies for a deceased Ladakhi elder and includes an interview with the Dalai Lama, who shares his views on the book's meaning and importance.

Anattata ::: Favorites  2007-05-29 18:09:16 Hm, I don't think it is really important but as far as *I* can tell, it is the voice of Richard Gere who has been a buddhist for a long time. But then again, I might be wrong. __________________________________________________

helimax ::: Favorites  2007-07-19 09:55:51 I like that it focuses more on the realities of life and death than other religions, imaginary information about things after dying is of no interest to me. The book sounds interesting. __________________________________________________
