In this very practical approach, from a Buddhist perspective, Dzoghen Ponlop Rinpoche leads us to the key to understanding life and death: understanding the mind. He explains, “The original state of our mind and consciousness is totally free and full of compassion. It's like someone sitting on a heap of garbage piled on top of some land under which there is a tremendous treasure."
