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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best translaton of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, 25 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This is still by far the best translation available of the so called "Tibetan Book of the Dead" or "The Great Liberation by Hearing during the Intermediate State" [between death and rebirth]- and the only translation made under the guidance of an authentic teacher belonging to the Kagyu & Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism to which this text belongs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Source of Wisdom and Insight into Tibetan Buddhism, 15 May 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Paperback)

Sadly, even amongst some practitioners of other sects and traditions of Buddhism not much is known about the mythology and philosophy of many of the sects and lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. The Venerable Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche released many of the teachings of the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Buddhism (into which he had been trained and initiated) to the general public and as a result provided a wonderful source of information to the student, practitioner, and teacher of Buddhism.
