Robert Thurman Audio Tribute: Discovering The Undiscovered Country and The Art of Living and Dying

So Shakespeare called the realm that one might enter after death. And he rightly described the dilemma of persons worried about its possibility and nature. Does it exist? What is it like? How to traverse it to a good end? The Indian Buddhist “inner scientists” and their Tibetan successors claimed to have investigated this country very thoroughly. Upon return they gave us the Book of Natural Liberation Through Learning of the Between and many other yogas for dealing with death successfully. How might their description affect us in the confrontation with death, our own or those of others, and give us intensified positive energy in life.

Robert Thurman Audio Tribute: Discovering The Undiscovered Country & The Art of Living and Dying

Tibet House and BetterListen! are proud to offer this rare and wonderful audio tribute—a complimentary gift created to honor the memory and teachings of Robert Thurman, beloved Buddhist scholar, teacher, and pioneer of East-West spiritual understanding.

In this special collection—featuring selections from "Discovering The Undiscovered Country: How Facing Death Brings Life" and "The Art of Dying and the Art of Living"—you’ll receive over three hours of transformative wisdom. Through Thurman’s signature warmth, humor, and clarity, you’ll be invited to reexamine your relationship with life, death, and the vast “betweens” that connect them.

When you receive this free tribute, you’ll discover:

From “Discovering The Undiscovered Country: How Facing Death Brings Life”:

• Discover Death as a Doorway, Not an End: Learn how the so-called “end” is actually an open transition into ongoing life and awareness.

• Transform Fear into Presence: Find practices and perspectives that help shift denial and avoidance of death into deep appreciation for each moment.

• Awaken Compassion for Yourself and Others: Explore how recognizing the continuity of existence expands your capacity for generosity, kindness, and wisdom.

Memorable teachings from Robert Thurman:
“Death is just the doorway which you go out of. And nobody stays in the doorway—they go from one room to another.”
“If you discover the nature of reality and you find that the reality of yourself and the world around you buoys you in an ocean of bliss, then you’ll be grinning… you’ll be happy.”

From “The Art of Dying and the Art of Living”:

• Navigate the Six Betweens: Receive practical insight into the Bardos—the opportunities for natural liberation found in life, dreams, meditation, dying, reality, and rebirth.

• Embody Bliss at the Core of Being: Understand how liberation arises from realizing the union of wisdom and compassion—the “bliss void indivisible” within all things.

• Live and Die More Consciously: Be guided toward living each day with intention, presence, and joy, knowing that every action shapes both this life and what follows.

Unforgettable guidance from Robert Thurman:
“When you know reality, you will be liberated, because reality is this abundant energy of infinite potential and infinite possibility for you.”
“The ultimate state, emptiness, is all of the people. That’s what non-duality means. We are all here together. And that’s the ultimate condition of everything.”
