About this product

Product Information

One of the greatest works created by any culture and overwhelmingly the most significant of all Tibetan Buddhist texts in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished translations, but none encompassed the work in its entirety. Now, in one of the year's most important publishing events, the entire text has not only been made available in English but in a translation of quite remarkable clarity and beauty.With an introductory commentary 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 masters, including HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and learned scholars such as Khamtrul Rinpoche and Zenkar Rinpoche, His Holiness the Dalai Lama says, "I hope that the profound insights contained in this work will be a source of inspiration and support to many interested people around the world."

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.

My item came on time, and it was just as the seller described. I am very happy with my purchase, and the seller was very courteous and professional. I would definitely do business with the seller again! Cheers!!

  • Tibetan Book of the Dead 2006... Complete

    This is a work that has been out to the public for many years however never until now in complete form. This has 535 pages and an excellent Introductory Commentary by H.H the XIV Dalai Lama. An excellent resource and companion to The Tibetan Book of Living Well Dying Well by Sogyal Rinpoche.

  • Important culturally and to understand belief system

    Maybe you are not in Kansas anymore but obviously in the land of ignorance and disrespect. The first review is not nice.
