Teachings and Advice from the Charnel Ground, by Traleg Kyabgon Talking About Death brings together teachings by Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche IX on preparing for death in ways that deepen and enrich how we live now.
Rinpoche describes the bardo, the intermediate state between life and death, and offers guidance on meditation practices traditionally used to come to terms with the inevitability of death. These include contemplations and Vajrayana practices that support acceptance, clarity, and peace.
Alongside Rinpoche's spontaneous translations and commentary from a range of textual sources, Talking About Death includes advice he gave to his wife, Traleg Khandro, on managing death in Western contexts. This practical guidance covers caring for the deceased, hospital arrangements, funeral planning, and related considerations. The book also includes Buddhist and non-sectarian prayers, along with daily contemplations based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Why It Matters These teachings are both profound and accessible, offering practical support for personal reflection and for caring for others at the end of life.
