Renowned for centuries as a classic of Buddhist wisdom and religious thought, THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD, more recently, has become highly influential in the Western world for its psychological insights into the processes of death and dying — and what they can teach us about the ways in which we live our lives. Composed in the eight century, it is intended as an aid to preparing for the trials and transformations of the afterworld. Its profound message is that the art of dying is as important as the art of living. Drawing on Tibetan spiritual traditions, it shows the workings of the mind in its various manifestations — terrifying and comforting, wrathful and beautiful — which appear more clearly after death in the consciousness of the deceased. By recognizing these manifestations, one can attain a state of enlightenment, both in this existence and in the existence to come. Glossary, Essential Bibliography. 278p.
