Product Description
Review
"This is probably one of the most beautiful and difficult books for a Westerner to wrap her/his mind around. . . . This translation is much easier to read than the famous Oxford version, avoiding the inadvertently surrealistic pseudo-King James prose style of the earlier book."-- "San Francisco Chronicle "
Product Description
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.
