The Tibetan Book of the Dead: or, The After-Death Experiences on the Bardo Plane, according to Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup's English Rendering - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Liberation Thru Hearing During the Intermediate State (Tibetan: bar do "liminality" or "threshold"; thos grol "liberation"), sometimes translated as Liberation Thru Hearing or transliterated as Bardo Thodol, is a funerary text. It's often referred to in the West by the more casual title, Tibetan Book of the Dead, drawing a parallel with The Egyptian Book of the Dead. The Tibetan text describes, & is intended to guide one thru, the experiences that the consciousness has after death, during the interval between death & the next rebirth. This interval is known in Tibetan as the bardo. The text also includes chapters on the signs of death, & rituals to undertake when death is closing in, or has taken place. It's the most internationally famous & widespread work of Tibetan Nyingma literature. However, despite knowledge of texts & practices related to the Bardo-the book as found in the west is virtually unknown in Tibet in the title or form.

Psychological Commentary by Dr. C G Jung; Introductory Foreword by Lama Anagarik Govinda; Foreword by Sir John Woodroffe. Quoted from the inside flap of the dust jacket: "First published in 1927, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, or the Bardo Thodol, has since been revised and reprinted in several editions. For this third edition, Dr. Evans-Wentz prepared a special Preface. Although the Bardo Thodol is used in Tibet as a breviary, and read or recited on the occasion of death, it was originally conceived to serve as a guide not only for the dying and the dead ,but for the living as well. As a contribution to the science of death and of existence after death, and of rebirth, The Tibetan Book of the Dead is unique among the sacred books of the world.".
