Writing primarily from within the Tibetan tradition, author Karma Lekshe Tsomo discusses Buddhist notions of human consciousness and personal identity and how these figure in the Buddhist view of death. Beliefs about death and enlightenment and states between life and death are also discussed. Tsomo goes on to examine such hot-button topics as cloning, abortion, assisted suicide, euthanasia, organ donation, genetic engineering, and stem-cell research within a Buddhist context, introducing new ways of thinking about these highly controversial issues."--JacketDeathReligious aspectsBuddhismIntermediate stateBuddhismBuddhismDoctrinesDeathReligious aspectsBuddhism.Intermediate stateBuddhism.BuddhismDoctrines.294.3/5697Karma Lekshe Tsomo1944-1524627MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777505603321Into the jaws of Yama, lord of death3765605UNINA
