The most graceful English translation of this masterpiece of world
literature - prepared with the participation of the Dalai Lama and
eminent contemporary masters of this tradition appointed by the
Dalai Lama One of the greatest works created by any culture and one
of the most influential of all Tibetan Buddhist texts in the West,
The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished
translations, but strangely all of these have been partial
abridgements. Now the entire text has not only been made available
in English but in a translation of quite remarkable clarity and
beauty. A comprehensive guide to living and dying, The Tibetan Book
of the Dead contains exquisitely written guidance and practices
related to transforming our experience in daily life, on the
processes of dying and the after-death state, and on how to help
those who are dying. As originally intended this is as much a work
for the living, as it is for those who wish to think beyond a mere
conventional lifetime to a vastly greater and grander cycle.
'Extraordinary ... this work will be a source of inspiration and
support to many' His Holiness the Dalai Lama About the authors:
Commentary by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Thupten Jinpa is the
senior translator to the Dalai Lama and President of the Institute
of Tibetan Classics. Graham Coleman is founder of the Orient
Foundation for Arts and Culture, a major Tibetan cultural
conservancy organization, and writer-director of the acclaimed
feature documentary Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy. Gyurme Dorje is a
leading scholar of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, from
which the Tibetan Book of the Dead literature derives.
