5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating spiritual classic, 15 Dec 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Hardcover)
This is indeed a very important book, with some pleasant illustrations. As an object it is wonderfully presented, the binding, cutting and whatever processes the book goes through have clearly been undertaken with great care or expensive machinery. Few books are as attractive or durable these days. What's really important, however, is the contents. If you believe in the words, they could prepare you for death and what lies beyond it (there are descriptions of the dying process which, if committed to memory, could be extremely comforting when the time comes). If you remain sceptical or follow another faith, relish the spectacular imagery and often beautiful verse in which many passages are expressed.
If I *had* to gripe, it'd be about the review above (below?) which, like many others on Amazon, is opinionated and enthusiastic but rather pointless. "I haven't read it but I bet it's ace" is hardly likely to encourage someone to part with nearly £20 to try a book, is it?

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book, 11 Oct 2007
By A. Beeton "adamblue" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Hardcover)
I bought this book when it was first published, out of impulse actually, because of the binding, and I am glad I did because it is a beautiful book to read. Someone once told me you cant read the TBOD without a Master's interpretation or guidance, but this is incorrect; if you are, like myself, interested in a general read to explore an esoteric work yourself, then the the various introductory chapters are more than enough to prepare the reader for the main text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immense., 14 Nov 2005
By S. P. Harper (Cheltenham, UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Hardcover)
Having just recieved this book, I wonder if I will ever have time to read it. It is a stunning piece of work that has been hidden away for centuries. A must have for any buddhist library.
