Book Reviews of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (The Great Book of Natural Liberation Through Understanding in the Between)

Book Review: Best translation yet, with lucid commentary
Summary: 5 Stars

The remarkable Bob Thurman offers us a new translation of the 'Tibetan Book of the Dead'. It surpasses by far the previous translation by Chogyam Trungpa and Frances Fremantle. As a text for practical use, as a source of spiritual inspiration, and as literature, this book shines. As well as the translation of the text and commentary, Professor Thurman has written an introduction which stands on its own as an introduction to Buddhism and Tibetan spirituality. If you have an interest in Buddhism, Tibet, or a concern about the after-death states, this book is essential. Pete Folly
