The Tibetan Book of the Dead (or Tibetan Book of the Dead) is not only a description of the post-mortem experience, but it is a deep spiritual mirror of life. Written by Padmasambhava and received through the lineage of Karma Lingpa, this invaluable book discusses the continuity of human consciousness and the intermediate state of death or 'Bardo'. The core teaching of the book is that post-death horrors or peaceful visions are actually reflections or projections of our own minds; if we can recognize them, liberation or nirvana from the cycle of birth and death is possible. This edition, including a foreword by the Dalai Lama and a psychological explanation by C. G. Jung, teaches the reader how to turn the last moment of life into a golden opportunity to merge into the ultimate truth.
