In this book that meets the needs of the era, Lama Tsongkhapa discusses in depth how to understand the true meaning of life, how to accept death, and how to help the dying and the deceased.

To live, there must be death. Sooner or later, everyone needs to face death. While we are still alive, we can deal with death in two ways: ignore it, or face our own death, reduce the pain that death may bring through clear thinking about death. However, neither of these methods can truly overcome death.
As a Buddhist, I regard death as a normal process. As long as I am alive on this earth, death will inevitably happen. Once I realize that I cannot escape death, there is nothing to worry about. I prefer to see death as replacing a worn-out garment with a new one, rather than an end. However, death is still unpredictable: we do not know when or how we will die. Therefore, it is necessary for us to make preparations before death actually occurs.
