Book did not come in Like new condition. Still excited to read this %100

I'm excited to read it. But I have to say for paying extra for the "like new condition" i wasn't expecting it to come with a couple of tears and it being all bent up

Tibetan book of living and dying

This is a great guide to understanding compassion, and learning to use it to better everyone's life experience. The author relates his journey to attainment, his friends, and the times he has lived through. For me, the information on the process of dying, how to truly help someone and yourself through the Bardo experiences one may be aware of during the process of dying. As a worker in the health industry this book opened a whole bunch of new meaningful understanding.

I lost interest

I'm sure this is a decent book, but I just couldn't get through it. Very wordy.
