Overwhelmingly the most significant of all Tibetan Buddhist texts in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished partial translations. Now, with this first full translation, carried out with the most thorough scholarship and also with a new clarity and elegance, the complete work has finally been made available in English.
With an introduction 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 Buddhist masters, including HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and learned scholars such as Khamtrul Rinpoche and Zenkar Rinpoche.
