"Imagine you're in a foreign country, there's a sudden terrifying earthquake--and the voice you hear is Lama Zopa's, rapping out this instruction: 'Meditate on bodhichitta!' You are scared witless because you think you are going to die, but you have just been given the best advice in the world. This was Kathleen McDonald's unforgettable experience at Kopan Monastery in Nepal, back in 1974. Now she has collaborated with Rinpoche in this splendid book, crammed with clear unequivocal words of wisdom about how we don't need to fear death at all; rather, the fear is the risk of dying with an uncontrolled mind, and dying without having done anything positive in this life. It really is a 'wholesome' fear, with extraordinarily positive qualities. With vivid descriptions of exactly what happens when we die, and the ultimate death experiences of great yogis, plus practical powerful guided meditations, this book is like having Lama Zopa Rinpoche at your side. What more could you ask for a perfect death?".
