Description
Over the centuries the Tibetans have developed a wide-ranging literature on death, including inspirational poetry and prose, occult texts, prayers, mysticism and practical works on care for the dying. This book draws on nine Tibetan texts - including the famous "Tibetan Book of the Dead" - written by Tibet's spiritual authorities. It covers topics such as meditation techniques to prepare for death, inspirational accounts of the deaths of saints and yogis, methods to facilitate the transition to new modes of consciousness and a clear introduction that explains the concepts of karma and re-incarnation. - from Amzon
