Living Is Dying: How to Prepare for Death, Dying and Beyond by Khyentse Norbu |Animated Book Summary

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the phrase "Living is Dying" reflects the philosophy that birth and death are inseparable. This concept is most prominently explored in the 2020 book Living Is Dying: How to Prepare for Death, Dying and Beyond by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse. Core Themes The Inevitability of Death: The book begins with the premise that since death is certain for everyone, it is logical to inform oneself and prepare for it rather than avoid the topic. Preparation as Life Enrichment: Preparing for death is presented as a way to allay fears and gain a deeper appreciation for what it means to be truly alive. The Dying Process: It provides a detailed guide on the internal "dissolution" stages of the dying process—where physical elements (earth, water, fire, air, space) and senses are left behind—and how to navigate the bardos (intermediate states). Practical Guidance: The text offers advice on how to talk to the dying, how to help someone who has already passed, and specific prayers or practices to use.
