ADVICE ON DYING AND LIVING A BETTER LIFE by H.H. the Dalai Lama, Jeffrey Hopkins
"Everyone dies, but no one is dead", goes the Tibetan Saying. It is with these words that Advice on Dying takes flight. Using a seventeenth-century poem written by a prominent scholar-practitioner, His Holiness the Dalai Lama draws from a wide range of traditions and beliefs to explore the stages we all go through when we die, which are the very same stages we experience in life when we go to sleep, faint, or reach orgasm (Shakespeare's "little death").
The stages are described so vividly that we can imagine the process of traveling deeper into the mind, on the ultimate journey of transformation. In this way, His Holiness shows us how to prepare for that time and, in doing so, how to enrich our time on earth, die without fear or upset, and influence the stage between this life and the next so that we may gain the best possible incarnation. As always, the ultimate goal is to advance along the path to enlightenment. Advice on Dying is an essential tool for attaining that eternal bliss.

THE DALAI LAMA'S BOOK OF AWAKENING by H.H. the Dalai Lama
A little book for those in search of words to calm and inspire. In this gift book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches us how to deal with suffering. It also contains His Holiness' thoughts on The Four Noble Truths - the very foundation of Buddhist teaching.
The Four Noble Truths - the truth of suffering, of the origin of suffering, of the cessation of suffering, of the path leading to this cessation - were the theme of the first sermon the Buddha gave after he was enlightened. In this little book, His Holiness presents a comprehensive explanation of the subject, helping us to gain a better understanding of the Four Noble Truths.
'Whenever I have been given the opportunity to introduce Buddhism I always make it a point to explain Buddhism in terms of two principles. One is the development of a philosophical viewpoint based on the understanding of the interdependent nature of reality. And the second principle is that of non-violence which is the actual action of a Buddhist practitioner and which derives from that view of the interdependent nature of reality' - His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
