| Abstract | At thirty-six years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries. Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being.
He immediately discovered that a lifetime of Buddhist education and practice had not prepared him to deal with dirty fellow travelers or the screeching of a railway car. He found he was too attached to his identity as a monk to remove his robes right away or to sleep on the Varanasi station floor, and instead paid for a bed in a cheap hostel. But when he ran out of money, he began his life as an itinerant beggar in earnest. Soon he became deathly ill from food poisoning—and his journey took a startling turn. His meditation practice had prepared him to face death, and now he had the opportunity to test the strength of his training.
In this powerful and unusually candid account of the inner life of a Buddhist master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche offers us the invaluable lessons he learned from his near-death experience. By sharing with readers the meditation practices that sustain him, he shows us how we can transform our fear of dying into joyful living. |

| Table of contents | Prologue
Part one: Adding wood to the fire. Who are you?
Acknowledge the wave but stay with the ocean
Born with a silver spoon
Impermanence and death
Letting wisdom arise
What will you do in the bardo?
Lessons from Milarepa
Varanasi rail station
Emptiness, not nothingness
If you see something, say something
A visit from panic, my old friend
A day at the ghats
Of sleep and dreams
Learning to swim
Memento mori
Part two: Returning home. Where the Buddha died
What is your happy dream?
Coming through darkness
A chance encounter
Naked and clothed
No picking, no choosing
Working with pain
The four rivers of natural suffering
Recalling the bardos
Giving everything away
When death is good news
Awareness never dies
When the cup shatters
In the bardo of becoming
