IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD - YONGEY MINGYUR RINPOCH...

A rare  intimate account of a world-renowned Buddhist monk's near-death experience and the
life-changing wisdom he gained as a result.  'One of the most generous  beautiful  and
essential books I've ever read - thoroughly engaging  so clear  so honest  so courageous and
full of wisdom.' George Saunders  Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo  'This
book makes me think enlightenment is possible and necessary.' Russell Brand  Yongey Mingyur
Rinpoche's experience begins the night he has chosen to embark on a four-year wandering retreat
slipping past the monastery gates. Alone for the first time in his life  he sets out into the
unknown. His initial motivation is to step away from his life of privilege and to explore the
deepest  most hidden aspects of his being  but what he discovers throughout his retreat - about
himself and about the world around us - comes to define his meditation practice and teaching. 
Just three weeks into his retreat  Rinpoche becomes deathly ill and his journey begins in
earnest through this near-death experience. Moving  beautiful and suffused with local colour 
In Love with the World is the story of two different kinds of death: that of the body and that
of the ego  and how we can bridge these two experiences to live a better and more fulfilling
life. Rinpoche's skilful and intimate account of his search for the self is a demonstration of
how we can transform our dread of dying into joyful living.
