First revealed by a Tibetan monk in the 14th century, Bardo Thodol
("Great Liberation upon Hearing in the Intermediate State") - known
more commonly as The Tibetan Book of the Dead - describes the
experience of human consciousness in the bardo, the interval
between death and the next rebirth in the cycle of death and
rebirth. The teachings are designed to help the dying regain
clarity of awareness at the moment of death, and by doing so
achieve enlightened liberation. Popular throughout the world since
the 1960s and overwhelmingly the best-known Buddhist text in the
West, this classic translation by Kazi Dawa Samdup is divided into
21 chapters, with sections on the chikhai bardo, or the clear light
seen at the moment of death; choenyid bardo, or karmic apparitions;
the wisdom of peaceful deities, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas; the 58
flame-enhaloed, wrathful, blood-drinking deities; the judgement of
those who the dying has known in life through the "mirror of
karma"; and the process of rebirth. The text also includes chapters
on the signs of death and rituals to undertake for the dying.
Presented in a high-quality Chinese-bound format with accompanying
illustrations, The Tibetan Book of the Dead is an ideal resource of
ancient wisdom for anyone interested in Tibetan Buddhist notions of
death and the path to enlightenment.
