One of the greatest works created by any culture and overwhelmingly the most significant of all Tibetan Buddhist texts in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished translations, but none encompassed the work in its entirety. Now, in one of the year's most important publishing events, the entire text has not only been made available in English but in a translation of quite remarkable clarity and beauty.

With an introductory commentary by His Holiness The Dalai Lama, who calls this translation "an extraordinary accomplishment undertaken with great care over many years" this complete edition faithfully presents the insights and intentions of the original work. It includes one of the most detailed and compelling descriptions of the after-death state in world literature, exquisitely written practices that can transform our experience of daily life, guidance on helping those who are dying, and an inspirational perspective on coping with bereavement. Translated with the close support of leading contemporary masters, including HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and learned scholars such as Khamtrul Rinpoche and Zenkar Rinpoche, His Holiness the Dalai Lama says, "I hope that the profound insights contained in this work will be a source of inspiration and support to many interested people around the world."

Science of Mind and Liberation through Hearing

October 13, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have the incomplete, first translation of this work; I jumped at the chance to get the first complete translation. Let me state this for the sake of clarity: in terms to profundity, this book is, in my opinion, unparalleled.
We, here in the west, assume that we are among the most advanced nation(s) on the planet; that materialism, capitalism, even religious thought - are the acme of civilization. Then there's this book.
I have been a voracious reader all my life, and have been exposed to thousands of pages of literature from countless brilliant minds; my advice to those of my ilk: read this book and be amazed at the complexity of it. Read the foreword by the Dalai Lama; you will come away shaking your head. The philosophy expressed by His Holiness is akin to one perfect thought honoring a process of liberation of the soul.
And this: you would be in error to classify this book as religious; Buddhism? Buddhism is Science of Mind.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Eye opening, wish I woulda been required to read and learn this information in Highschool. Considering I went to a private non denominational school and theology was part of our studies, I don't see how this was left out. Amazing book, full of insite everyone can relate too.

I needed this translation!

January 15, 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book and Robert Wright's book "Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation" put together have made me go back to my meditation. Thank you! I also loved to learn about the peaceful and wrathful deities in my essence. Makes me think that NDEs who experience a hellish situation may just be meeting up with their wrathful deities. Makes you think! and live!
