The Tibetan Book Of The Dead

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 offers the possibility, through hearing the appropriate spiritual instructions, for a person to recognize the nature of mind and so attain liberation. This translation emphasizes the practical advice that the book offers to the living. The commentary by Chogyam Trungpa explains what the text teaches us about human psychology.
