very, very interesting...opened a new way of looking at life!

An easy read and certainly of interest to those wishing to understand Buddhist thought on life/death and the importance of birth/rebirth! This book sparked a series of readings for us and still going! Cultural differences between Eastern/Western birth experiences are also of interest here; the role of mother and birth SHOULD be more revered, as illustrated in this book, very nicely, no matter what your faith or background. Enjoy!

Very informative and interesting

This is a good book that takes an intimate look at Tibetan culture. One of the most fascanating aspects of cultures is how each one has a different technique to raise their young ones. There is no other book like it to my knowledge. Neat parenting ideas, and great information about Tibetan culture.
