Description:TheTibetanBook of the Dead isone of the best-known Tibetan Buddhist texts. It is also one of the mostdifficult texts for Westerners to understand. In Living,Dreaming, Dying, RobNairn presents the first interpretation of this classic text using a modernWestern perspective, avoiding arcane religious terminology, keeping hisexplanations grounded in everyday language. Nairn explores the concepts used inthis highly revered work and brings out their meaning and significance for ourdaily life. He shows readers how the TibetanBook of the Dead canhelpus understand life and self as well as the dying process.Living,Dreaming, Dying helpsreaders to "live deliberately"—and confront death deliberately. Onething that prevents us from doing that, according to Nairn, is our tendency toreact fearfully whenever change occurs. But if we confront our fear of changeand the unknown, we can learn to flow gracefully with the unfoldingcircumstances of life rather than be at their mercy.Ofcourse, change occurs throughout our life, but a period of transition alsooccurs as we pass from the waking state into sleep, and likewise as we passinto death. Therefore the author's teachings apply equally to living as well asto dreaming and dying.Throughmeditation instructions and practical exercises, the author explains how to: Explorethe mind through the cultivation of deep meditation states and expandedconsciousness Developawareness of negative tendencies Usedeep sleep states and lucid dreaming to increase self-understanding as well asto "train" oneself in how to die so that one is prepared for when thetime comes Confrontand liberate oneself from fear of death and the unknownWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
