Description
The Tibetan Book of the Dead Awakening Upon Dying is an ancient text that guides individuals through the intermediate state between death and rebirth. Composed by Padmasambhava in the eighth century, this book was concealed in Tibet until its rediscovery in the fourteenth century by Karma Lingpa. A practical guide to navigating the bardo, a set of instructions designed to facilitate inner liberation, is presented alongside historical, cultural, and spiritual insights into the characteristics and visions of each stage beyond death. The text includes invocations to be read aloud to the dying person, aiming to aid their successful journey toward liberation. This new translation incorporates recent discoveries that have allowed for a better understanding of previously ambiguous passages, providing a clearer picture of this unique and fascinating document.
