“The Tibetan Book of the Dead” serves as a navigational guide for the deceased and their loved ones, showing the path and giving instructions. It should be read during the 49 days after death, because that is exactly how long it takes the soul to find a new body.
This edition includes:
– a brief history of the creation of “The Book of the Dead”;
– a step-by-step description of what consciousness experiences after death;
– a glossary and a list of literature.
This is the first translation of “The Book of the Dead” from Tibetan into Russian. It will be interesting both to those who value original sources and to those who are just beginning to study the basics of Buddhism.
