Transformative insights on life, death, and afterlife.

If you've been pondering the deeper meanings of existence and what happens after we leave this world, "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" offers profound guidance. It encapsulates centuries of Tibetan wisdom on life's transitions, coupled with spiritual practices that could enrich your daily living and perspectives on mortality. This could be the companion you didn't know you needed for a journey of inner discovery and peace.

Description

Imagine that as you leave your body at death, you hear the voice of a loved one whispering in your ear explanations of everything you see in the world beyond. Unlike other translations of the Bar do thos grol, Robert Thurman's takes literally the entire gamut of metaphysical assumptions. The Bar do thos grol, or as Thurman translates, The Great Book of Natural Liberation through Understanding in the Between, is but one of many mortuary texts of the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism and is commonly recited to or by a person facing imminent death. Thurman reproduces it for this purpose, explaining in some depth the Tibetan conception of post-mortem existence. Over as many as 12 days, the deceased person is given explanations of what he or she sees and experiences and is guided through innumerable visions of the realms beyond to reach eventual liberation, or, failing that, a safe rebirth. Like a backpacker's guide to a foreign land, Thurman's version is clear, detailed, and sympathetic to the inexperienced voyager, including background and supplementary information, even illustrations. Don't wait until the journey has begun; every page should be read and memorised well ahead of time.
