Summary

Said to have its origins in the 'treasure texts' that were supposedly hidden away by Padmasambhava, the Lotus Guru, in Tibet in the 8th century, The Tibetan Book of the Dead was traditionally read aloud to the dying or recently deceased as a guide to the afterlife.

It explains how to recognize the true nature of the mind so that after death it will be possible to attain enlightenment and liberation from the suffering associated with the endless cycle of death and rebirth.

For many, listening to The Tibetan Book of the Dead has been a revelatory experience on the path to finding a sense of spirituality and self-knowledge.

Well explained

This is a good translation that has the whole text with a lot of explanatory material as well.

Not what I expected, waste of time

Horrendous listen, unless maybe you want to become a professor in the subject, The way it is written & hence narrated it awful like a Victorian script. just reference after reference to others work and no real explanation or easy interpretation of the real meaning of the original text. could not listen to it all despite various attempts.
very disappointing.
