Tibetan Book of the Dead v.11

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is an ancient Buddhist text that addresses the nature of mind and its manifestations, experienced as objectively existing worlds. It describes in detail the visions that appear after death, when consciousness is no longer bound to the body. The Tibetan Book of the Dead teaches how to recognize these visions, making it possible to even achieve a state of enlightenment. Therefore, the text of The Tibetan Book of the Dead is read aloud to the dying to aid in recognizing the visions experienced and achieving liberation. The translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead was made from Tibetan by Ireneusz Kania, a distinguished translator and Tibetologist, who also authored the Introduction that precedes the text. This classic Buddhist text provides not only an explanation of the fundamental phenomena of death and dying; it may also be of interest to all those seeking a deeper, spiritual understanding of our daily existence.
