The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: The Spiritual Classic & International Bestseller: Revised and Updated Edition

What we learn by becoming aware of dying before we die is that dying is rebirth. Recognizing luminous emptiness is a recognition of death. Becoming familiar now with emptiness diminishes our fear of losing our bodies, because when we lose our bodies, it is all that continues.

What a beautiful and what a healing mystery it is that from contemplating, continually and fearlessly, the truth of change and impermanence, we come slowly to find ourselves face to face, in gratitude and joy, with the truth of the changeless, with the truth of the deathless, unending nature of mind!
