The all-knowing Longchenpa (1308-64) stands at the center of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. This volume contains Longchenpa's heartfelt parting advice to his students, exhorting them to vigorously engage the path to liberation while they are still able. The second text (and its auto commentary) is a teaching on the Four Immeasurables: Love, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity. Longchenpa describes their power to transform our minds and hearts and lay bare a deeper wisdom. He gives beautiful, concise instruction for develping these immeasurable attitudes and how to avoid pitfalls of practice.Now That I Come to Die also includes introductory material by Tarthang Tulku on Longchenpa's life story, the special character and power of his teachings, and advice on how to practice Guru Yoga with Longchenpa.
