The first three-month retreat was held there in 1992.[16] A centre in Berlin named Dharma Mati was formally opened in October 2007.[14]The Tibetan Book of Living and DyingMain article: The Tibetan Book of Living and DyingIn 1983, Rinpoche met Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Kenneth Ring and other figures in the caring professions and near-death research, and they encouraged him to develop his work in opening up the Tibetan teachings on death and helping the dying.[13] Rinpoche continued to teach throughout the world. Then, in 1989 in Nepal, Rinpoche met Andrew Harvey and invited him to help on the project.[17] About the writing process, co-editor Patrick Gaffney said, Probably, a book has never been written in such an unusual way.[17]The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying was first launched in the United States in September 1992, where it received high acclaim and spent several weeks at the top of the bestseller lists.[18] It was subsequently released in the United Kingdom, Australia and India, and first translated into German and French.
