20 Bewildering Facts About The Tibetan Book of The Dead
by Ivan
Not actually a book but a text from a larger corpus of teachings, the Bardo Thodol—Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State— was rediscovered by Karma Lingpa as the Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation through the Intention of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones.
The text is considered as the most famous work of Nyingma literature and is usually referred to (in the west) as the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
The text is, in fact, a guide and it describes a collection of experiences that the human consciousness goes through after death, and in the Bardo, an intermediate, transitional, or liminal state between death and rebirth.
