Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How do we get there? Gelek Rimpoche, one of the last reincarnated lamas to be educated in Tibet, examines these universal questions with a combination of ancient tradition and contemporary thought-revealing an empowering connection between what we believe and how we live our lives. He offers a bigger picture of life after life, with meditations for facing the dying process, overcoming negative emotions and cultivating compassion. Author Gelek Rimpoche was born into one of the last great aristocratic families of Tibet. He began his formal training to become a teacher when he was three years old. He left Tibet at 19 during the Communist Chinese invasion and at his teachers' insistence, began instructing Westerners in Buddhism. Rimpoche is one of the last reincarnated lamas to be fully educated in Tibet and trained by the same teachers who taught the Dalai Lama. He has been a favorite speaker at countless spiritual centers around the country. Rimpoche has been a research consultant at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, and an instructor of Tibetan at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Rimpoche is now an American citizen and lectures around the world.

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.
