  This translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead has captured the true spirit and poetry of the original work. With a historical and philosophical introduction, accessible commentary, notes and a glossary of key terms it is the essential book of Tibetan philosophical thought, read by all who are interested in Buddhism. In more recent times, it has also been used by spiritually minded people to understand better the experience of death and dying and to help them cope with the loss of people they love. This book shows readers the true nature of the mind and its manifestations beautiful and terrible, peaceful or wrathful, obsessive or liberated, so that we can free ourselves from them and attain enlightenment.
