Good Life, Good Death

De: Gelek Rimpoche, The Dalai Lama - foreword, Gini Alhadeff, Mark Magill

Narrado por: Brian Nishii

Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How do we get there? Many have asked these questions, and many have attempted to answer them. But there is another question Good Life, Good Death asks us to contemplate: How does the idea of life after death affect how we live our lives?

Gelek Rimpoche tells stories of the mystical Tibet he lived in, as well as the contemporary America he became a citizen of, and shares the wisdom of the great masters. He asks us to open our minds and see if we can entertain a bigger picture of life after life, even for a moment. He makes the connection between powerful emotions such as anger, obsession, jealousy, and pride, and our past as well as our future.

another beautifully written piece.

Life is indeed a mysterious thing that we really don't know much about as per who we, where we came from, why we are here now and what should we be about. This piece made Tibet believes that try to explain the mystery that can't be explained understandable and that is wonderful. I will recommend it to be read over and over again as I have done for over a month now and still counting

Very Important Book

After two complete listens I have found this book to be one of my favorite books about Buddhism. Gelek Rimpoche has captured some esoteric teachings in a straight forward and graspable manner. Very much worth the read.

Useful and insightfu even for a Christian like me.

I'm not into Eastern mysticism, and so chapters such as the one on the Bardo don't really work for me. That said, the chapters "Anger and Patience" and "Ego and Compassion" are exceptional, and definitely left me thinking. Also useful is the chapter on meditation. Like many other Tibetan Buddhism books, Rimpoche is respectful of other philosophies and religions, and does mention Jesus a few times in a positive light. This is a book I can see myself revisiting again in the future.

Brian Nishii is one of my favorite audiobook narrators. Here he is, as always, excellent.
