Serie Orientale Roma, LXI. Un volume di XXIV-131 pagine, brossura editoriale. Dimensioni: 17,5x24,5cm. Ottime condizioni. Revised, collated and completed by Ramon Prats. Excerpts in English translated by Namkhai Norbu and Ramon Prats.
brossura "Nascere, Vivere e Morire" viene incontro a due esigenze spesso considerate separate o incompatibili: da una parte la naturale tendenza dell'essere umano a ricercare la salute e il benessere nella vita di tutti i giorni, dall'altra la necessità, sempre più sentita, di una conoscenza spirituale autentica e libera da condizionamenti, che ci permetta di affrontare in modo reale i problemi della nascita, della vita e della morte. Nella prima parte, Introduzione ai principi della medicina tibetana, l'autore espone i principi fondamentali della medicina tradizionale tibetana, in modo da consentire al lettore di comprendere alcuni punti trattati in seguito. Nella sezione Nascere vengono toccati numerosi argomenti a partire dalle cause della concezione della vita nel grembo materno fino al comportamento consigliato per la gestante. Nella sezione Vivere Chögyal Namkhai Norbu spiega come vivere in buona salute, descrivendo le cause di squilibrio degli umori che conducono all'insorgere delle malattie. L'autore chiarisce che mantenere un flusso costante di presenza e di consapevolezza durante ogni momento della vita, oltre a costituire una qualità indispensabile per i praticanti di ogni via spirituale, consente di sciogliere le tensioni e di vivere felici e in buona salute. Infine, la sezione Morire affronta la natura della morte e il nostro atteggiamento verso di essa, alla luce della profonda conoscenza contenuta nel Bardo Thödrol, il Libro tibetano dei morti, i cui punti fondamentali vengono introdotti e spiegati con grande chiarezza.
