The Tibetan Way of Life, Death & Rebirth: The Illustrated Guide to Tibetan Wisdom

The Tibetan spiritual tradition is unique because it combines Buddhism with the beliefs and practices of Tibet's ancient Bon religion. John Peacocke explores the roots of this fascinating combination and conveys its deeper meanings as never before. In beautifully illustrated chapters with such titles as "The Bell and the Thunderbolt," "The Secret Teachings," and "The Circle of the Cosmos," he shows how spirituality permeates Tibetan life, and suggests how Western readers can seek a life free from greed, hatred, and delusion.
