The Tibetan Book of the Dead: Or the After-Death Experiences on the Bardo Plane, according to Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup's English Rendering Revised ed. Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
This fourth edition features a new foreword, afterword, and suggested further reading list by Donald S. Lopez, author of Prisoners of Shangri-La: Tibetan Buddhism and the West. Lopez traces the whole history of the late Evans-Wentz's three earlier editions of this book, fully considering the work of contributors to previous editions (C. G. Jung among them), the sections that were added by Evans-Wentz along the way, the questions surrounding the book's translation, and finally the volume's profound importance in engendering both popular and academic interest in the religion and culture of Tibet. Another key theme that Lopez addresses is the changing nature of this book's audience--from the prewar theosophists to the beat poets to the hippies to contemporary exponents of the hospice movement--and what these audiences have found (or sought) in its very old pages.

If one doesn't know what they're buying, this book will be an adventure for first time trippers, scholars, and mystics alike. Akin to many scriptural texts, the book needs be read aloud and studied with care for its illuminatory properties to influence oneself adequately. There are many interpretations and commentaries included for those new to such texts, and overall, these are worth the additional time and interest, if somewhat predictable for the familiar.
Nevertheless, I do believe that a dying person may benefit from human company during the process. This I can attest to.
