Good Life, Good Death: One of the Last Reincarnated Lamas to Be Educated in Tibet Shares Hard-Won Wisdom on Life, Death, and What Comes After - Softcover
Synopsis
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 is now 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.

"Gelek Rimpoche's wisdom on life, death and reincarnation will focus your energies on the importance of coming to terms with your negative emotions. It will also help you travel well through life by practicing patience."--Spirituality & Health
"Gelek Rimpoche's mix of astute psychological insight, extraordinary intellect, and great compassion--plus his delightful wit--make him a wonderful, wise spiritual friend and guide."--Tara Bennett-Goleman, author of Emotional Alchemy, and Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence

"Gelek Rimpoche...is a great teacher."--Robert A.F. Thurman, professor of Religion, Columbia University
"No clichés here. Just straight talk infused with humor, humility and a well-seasoned wisdom born of a broad classical training and worldly experience. His lineage is impeccable and true. His simple words speak to the jewel in our hearts."--Richard Gere
"Gelek Rimpoche is one of the wisest, most cheerful people I know. He is a beautiful and gracious spirit who carries the great wisdom of Tibet. We are fortunate to have him teaching in the West."--Jack Kornfield, bestselling author of After the Ecstasy, the Laundry
"Gelek Rimpoche's teaching is concise and soulful; here, tradition is saved only to strengthen the daily path of liberation. Answering Allen Ginsberg's query, Rimpoche once observed that poetry is compassion. We may learn from Rimpoche's writings that compassion is also poetry."--Francesco Clemente

--Melvyn C. Goldstein, John Reynolds Harkness Professor and Chair of Anthropology, and Director, Center for Research on Tibet, Case Western Reserve University

--Donald Lopez, Carl W. Belser Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies, University of Michigan
