195475430London: Oxford University Press 1954. First edition. Octavo. lxiv 261 1 printer's slug pp. Plus color frontispiece and 8 full page photographic illustrations. Publisher's sage cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering in unclipped typographic dust jacket couple of very short tears along bottom margins. An exceptionally clean copy in a dust jacket with only a very minor issue. "The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation which was unknown to the Western world until its first publication in 1954 speaks to the quintessence of the Supreme Path or Mah y na and fully reveals the yogic method of attaining Enlightenment. Such attainment can happen as shown here by means of knowing the One Mind the cosmic All-Consciousness without recourse to the postures breathings and other techniques associated with the lower yogas. The original text for this volume belongs to the Bardo Thodol series of treatises concerning various ways of achieving transcendence a series that figures into the Tantric school of the Mahayana. Authorship of this particular volume is attributed to the legendary Padma-Sambhava who journeyed from India to Tibet in the 8th century as the story goes at the invitation of a Tibetan king. Padma-Sambhava's text per se is preceded by an account of the great guru's own life and secret doctrines. It is followed by the testamentary teachings of the Guru Phadampa Sangay which are meant to augment the thought of the other gurus discussed herein.Still more useful supplementary material will be found in the book's introductory remarks by its editor Evans-Wentz and by the eminent psychoanalyst C. G. Jung. The former presents a 100-page General Introduction that explains several key names and notions such as Nirv na for starters with the lucidity ease and sagacity that are this scholar's hallmark; the latter offers a Psychological Commentary that weighs the differences between Eastern and Western modes of thought before equating the "collective unconscious" with the Enlightened Mind of the Buddhist" Oxford University Press.

Evans-Wentz</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> New Age Books</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9788178222516</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2004</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 272</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The Tibetan Book of the Dead is one of the texts that according to legend Padma-Sambhava was compelled to hide during his visit to Tibet in the late 8th century. The guru hid his books in stones lakes and pillars because the Tibetans of that day and age were somehow unprepared for their teachings. Now in the form of the ever-popular Tibetan Book of the Dead these teachings are constantly being discovered and rediscovered by Western readers of many different backgrounds--a phenomenon which began in 1927 with Oxford's first edition of Dr. Evans-Wentz's landmark volume. While it is traditionally used as a mortuary text to be read or recited in the presence of a dead or dying person this book--which relates the whole experience of death and rebirth in three intermediate states of being--was originally understood as a guide not only for the dead but also for the living. As a contribution to the science of death and dying--not to mention the belief in life after death or the belief in rebirth--The Tibetan Book of the Dead is unique among the sacred texts of the world for its socio-cultural influence in this regard is without comparison.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.</p> New Age Books hardcover
