"This book is a must-read for those who have ever feared death for themselves or for those they love." -Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom

By the late Gehlek Rimpoche, the bestselling book that changed the way we think about death


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.

Kyabjé Gelek Rimpoche(Tibetan: དགེ་ལེགས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་, Wylie: Skyabs-rje Dge-legs Rin-po-che) is tulku (incarnate lama) of Drepung Monastic University, where he received the scholastic degree of Geshe Lharampa, the highest degree given within the Gelug tradition.Gelek is a nephew of the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso. He was tutored by many of the same masters as thecurrent Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.In 1959, Gelek fled to India from Tibet and gave up monastic life. He is the founder and president of Jewel Heart, "a spiritual, cultural, and humanitarian organization that translates the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism into contemporary life." Beat-poetAllen Ginsbergwas among the more prominent of Jewel Heart's members.
