Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. <br />Traditionally read in the presence of a dead or dying person, the <i>Tibetan Book of the Dead </i>has had a profound influence on Western culture-it is arguably the most influential and best known of Tibetan Buddhist writings. The text instructs the recently deceased on how to negotiate the forty-nine day period after death-and before rebirth-a time filled with visions of both serene and terrifying deities. During this bardo period, individuals must recognize that these visions are nothing more than the inventions of their own minds. By awakening to this realization, fear can be vanquished. But it is not just a book for the dead; it is also an instruction manual on how to live, and is as relevant today as whenit was written in the eighth century. This edition is lushly illustrated with Buddhist art and images that bring the work dramatically to life. <br />

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. The Tibetan Book of the Dead, a best-seller for three decades, is one of the most widely read texts of Tibetan Buddhism. Over the years, it has been studied and cherished by Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. Luminous Emptiness is a detailed guide to this classic work, elucidating its mysterious concepts, terms, and imagery. Fremantle relates the symbolic world of the Tibetan Book of the Dead to the experiences of everyday life, presenting the text not as a scripture for the dying, but as a guide for the living. According to the Buddhist view, nothing is permanent or fixed. The entire world of our experience is constantly appearing and disappearing at every moment. Using vivid and dramatic imagery, the Tibetan Book of the Dead presents the notion that most of us are living in a dream that will continue from lifetime to lifetime until we truly awaken by becoming enlightened. Here, Fremantle, who worked closely with Chgyam Trungpa on the 1975 translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead (Shambhala), brings the expertise of a lifetime of study to rendering this intriguing classic more accessible and meaningful to the living. Luminous Emptiness features in-depth explanations of: The Tibetan Buddhist notions of death and rebirth The meaning of the five energies and the five elements in Tibetan Buddhism The mental and physical experience of dying, according to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Como Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Muy Bien. 1? Edición. El libro de los muertos tibetano (La liberación por audición durante el estado intermedio o Bardo Th?dol) es el tratado escatológico que con mayor precisión ha descrito todos los fenÛmenos que encontraremos tras nuestra muerte. Basándose en la doctrina del estado intermedio, esta importante obra de la literatura religiosa universal, descubierta en el siglo XIII, sostiene que, después de morir, todas las personas nos vemos proyectadas a un vórtice de espantosas visiones y sensaciones que son el resultado y la manifestación de nuestro último karma. Para exhortar al difunto a rememorar la verdad de esta doctrina, cuyas enseñanzas habrá recibido y practicado en vida, se le leen las indicaciones expuestas en este libro. Es con esta lectura, según la hermenéutica tibetana, como se logra ayudar a los difuntos a orientarse en el curso del estado intermedio, que es el periodo que transcurre desde la agonía que antecede a la muerte hasta que tiene lugar un nuevo renacimiento o bien la iluminación espiritual definitiva.
