When we contemplate the idea of our own death, does the thought frighten us, or are there other approaches to this great unanswerable question? In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, death is seen, not as the end, but as the continu-ation of consciousness.
Narrated by Leonard Cohen and with anappearance by HH the Dalai Lama, this visually evocative film shows the rites and readings after the death of a Ladakhi elder in India and follows the hospice treatment of a dying American AIDS patient, and thereby opens a door for us onto a remarkable culture and practice for living and dying.
