Description

This landmark translation presents one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most influential guides to death, dying, and the intermediate states between lives. Combining the foundational text with illuminating commentary and practical context, it explores consciousness, impermanence, karma, and the possibility of spiritual liberation. Accessible yet faithful to the tradition, it serves both as a ritual and contemplative manual and as a profound meditation on how awareness of death can transform the way we live.
