The Tibetan Book of the Dead - First Complete Translation (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) (Paperback)

One of the greatest works created by any culture and overwhelmingly the most significant of all Tibetan Buddhist texts in the West, "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" has had a number of distinguished but partial translations. Now the entire text has not only been made available in English but also in a translation of remarkable clarity and beauty. Translated with the close support of leading contemporary masters, this complete edition faithfully presents the insights and intentions of the original work. It includes one of the most detailed and compelling descriptions of the after-death state in world literature, practices that can transform our experience of daily life, guidance on helping those who are dying, and an inspirational perspective on coping with bereavement.
