Bought this book and was very pleased. I felt I learned alot, but still wanted to know more.

Written beautifully, and so simply, this book makes the most profound subjects easy to read. There's a charm to Gehlek Rimposhe's writing style, which has a slight flavor of someone who's mother toungue was not English.
It's about a lot more than reincarnation. It gives us life-changing lessons on how to replace anger with patience (ch. 3), attachment with pure love (ch.4), and ego with compassion (ch.5).
It's about living well, so as to die in peace and perhaps go on to a better and wiser future life.

There is much about how "our negative emotional habits create our suffering and blocks to freedom"...for instance, anger: "Peace of mind is like a clean, clear, tempting glass of water. A minute of anger is like putting a little dirt in it. Anger makes you miserable and makes everyone who deals with you miserable-your family, your friends, your colleagues, and your society all are made miserable by your anger"... and the concept that patience is the key to defeating anger is one I had not heard before, but I'm finding that it works.

Chapter two, "The Mind Continues", is fascinating, and details the process of physical death, and says: "This talk of death and impermanence is not meant to make you afraid. The whole purpose of it is for you to have compassion on yourself, and travel well".
Chapter Six, "Training the Mind", is powerful. It gives guidelines for meditating, and the difference between "absolute truth" and "relative truth".
This slim volume has had a big impact in my life...as a guide to a life without strife or negativity, and as preparation for the inevitable that lies ahead..."so that you can be like a bird sitting on a rock ready to fly, with nothing holding you back".

Although the book is about Reincarnation, it is just as much about how to live a good life in the first place - so that you have a fortunate rebirth or go on to that better place. I have a feeling that I'm going to be referring back to it as much as I do The Way of the Bodhisattva by Shantideva or the Book of Proverbs in the Bible.
