SUMMARY:A Spiritual Classic: A morning with Patrick Gaffney celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
DESCRIPTION:The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is widely regarded as one of the most complete and authoritative presentations of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings. A manual for life and death and a source of sacred inspiration from the heart of the Tibetan tradition\, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying provides a lucid and inspiring introduction to the practice of meditation\, to the nature of mind\, to karma and rebirth\, to compassionate love and care for the dying\, and to the trials and rewards of the spiritual path. \nThis year marks the 30th Anniversary since The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying was first published. Over three decades\, it has touched and supported people from all walks of life. There were many who said it had transformed the death of a loved one or helped them at other critical moments in their lives. Some told of how they had read the book two or three times all the way through and still return to it at moments of crisis. In various places\, medical and educational institutions adopted the book for their training courses and made use of its methods and practices. \nJoin Patrick Gaffney\, co-editor of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying\, for a morning of reflection\, discussion and meditation on the heart essence of the book and its profound long-lasting impact. \n  \nAbout Patrick Gaffney \nPatrick Gaffney is a Buddhist teacher\, writer and translator who has studied and worked with some of the most renowned masters of Tibet.
