Le livre des morts tibétain

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is presented here in its entirety for the first time, directly translated from Tibetan and explained in its original context. Composed by the great master Padmasambhava in the 8th Century, it deals with the deepest mysteries of existence: dreams, meditation, the moment of death... A book of wisdom, bound by a spirit which has no beginning or end and for which death is an instant of truth and return to fundamental light. This cycle of teachings covers all aspects of the way of enlightenment proposed by Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Nyingma tradition. [...] Of course, this work is above all known for its description of the varying bardo, but it is much more than a Tibetan Book of the dead: it encourages us to manifest the essence of the Buddha which resides within each of us, superseding birth and death.
