Description
The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a luxurious collector's edition presented in a stunning gold-embossed hardback with full-colour illustrations. This ancient Buddhist text has its origins in the 'treasure texts', said to have been hidden away in Tibet in the 8th century AD, awaiting revelation at a later time.
As a funerary text and guide to the afterlife, The Tibetan Book of the Dead was traditionally read aloud to the dying or recently deceased, allowing them to recognize the true nature of the mind and attain enlightenment and liberation from the suffering associated with the cycle of death and rebirth.
This special collector's edition is beautifully illustrated in full colour, translated by Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup and introduced by John Baldock, making it a treasured addition to any book collection.
