Tibetan Book of the Dead

Source material from Tibetan Buddhism. The cosmology is fascinating, and the concept of spirit passing between lives works for me. I also like the vivid imagery. I have a tape of Richard Gere reading this. I used to listen to it in the car. It’s really great stuff. I’m not 100% sure it’ll be like this, but it’s so vivid, and the concept of how energy is dissipating after death is great, so in my mind, part of it is right, and worthwhile just for that. I’m closer to the Steiner way of looking at things now, where you go through a dissipating then rebuilding process in concert with higher beings as you make your way around the wheel of the ecliptic and fashion a new physical existence-the Tibetan one seems a little abbreviated, and more about managing terror at the inbetween.
