Part 1 of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, A Way of Life documents the history of the "Book of the Dead" and explores its traditional application in Ladakh, northern India, as well as its use in hospices in Europe and North America. Filmed on location over a four-month period, the film uses remarkable footage of the rites and liturgies performed for a recently deceased Ladakhi elder. It includes an interview with the Dalai Lama, who shares his own views on the book's meaning and importance.
