The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Description

A classic of Tibetan Buddhism brought to life with insightful commentary by a modern master.

In this classic scripture of Tibetan Buddhism—traditionally read aloud to the dying to help them attain liberation—death and rebirth are seen as a process that provides an opportunity to recognise the true nature of mind. This unabridged translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead emphasises the practical advice that the book offers to the living.

The insightful commentary by Chögyam Trungpa, written in clear, concise language, explains what the text teaches us about human psychology. This book will be of interest to people concerned with death and dying, as well as those who seek greater spiritual understanding in everyday life.
