The Tibetan Book of the Dead

The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Karma Lingpa
0/5 ( ratings)
The Tibetan Book of the Dead - the Bardo Thodol - is unique among the sacred books of the world as a contribution to the science of death and of existence after death, and of rebirth. It is used in Tibet as a breviary, and is read or recited on the occasion of death, but it was originally conceived to serve as a guide not only for the dying and dead, but also for the living.

Dr Evans-Wentz, who literally sat at the feet of the Tibetan lāma for years in order to acquire his wisdom... not only displays a deeply sympathetic interest in those esoteric doctrines, so characteristic of the genius of the East, but likewise possesses the rare faculty of making them more or less intelligible to the layman. - Anthropology

For this revised and expnaded third edition of The Tibetal Book of teh Dead Dr Evans-Wentz wrote a new preface.
