The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Andrew Harvey, Patrick Gaffney, Sogyal Rinpoche, Sogyal (1994, Paperback, Reprint)

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is a clear, concise explanation of many of the main points and practices of Tibetan Buddhism. Great for both the practitioner and for anyone who is simply interested in the theory of Tibetan Buddhism, this book has things for both the beginner and the experienced. Also, it is much easier reading than many of the more academic writings. My only regret about this book is that the title may make it easily confused with the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which is much less accessible to western readers. I recommend this book highly to anyone, no matter what their stage is on or off the path.
