Description

Publisher's description: “No matter how glorious life is, death is a fact. Walk, stand, sit and lie with death. Look around you . . . The bamboo thicket that you see represents the tangle of the mind. The only way to transcend death is to look at the tangle dispassionately. If you understand death, you will understand energy, and you will see how to use it more effectively on the path.” Although decades have passed since Namgyal Rinpoche first gave these discourses in Crete in August 1976 and the first edition of The Song of Awakening was published in 1979, his transmission of liberation from suffering remains as timeless and as refreshing a guide to that transformation as they were then. In a pithy, clear and engaging manner, he illumines the themes of liberation through the ancient practice of Mindfulness of Death, the practice of meditation in general, as well as the quintessential practice of Mahamudra, the supreme path of enlightenment beyond concept, imagination and projection.
