Title page printed in red and black. Illustrated with a double-sided frontispiece and with several plates of black and white photographs. Foreword by Sir John Woodroffe. World History Encyclopedia Joshua J. Mark "Tibetan Book of the Dead". According to the traditional story Lotus Guru Padmasambhava and a female disciple Yeshe Tsogyal wrote the texts that would become the Bardo Thodol the Tibetan Book of the Dead during the eighth century of the Common Era. The texts became lost to time until they were found and disseminated orally by Karma Lingpa in the fourteenth century. Although written as a guide to assist and comfort the dead the work has taken on a new life as a guide for the living on spiritual transformation and self-improvement. The buddhist text is divided into six sections beginning with the moment of death until the moment that the deceased soul is either reborn or breaks the cycle of reincarnation samsara. The book was intended to shepherd the recently deceased through these cycles of the intermediate stages of reality and was read aloud at funeral rites for either days or weeks at a time by a monk. It was not until the twentieth century that the work was published in English. Walter Evans-Wentz was an anthropologist and scholar of Tibet and sought Dawa-Samdup's help in translating the texts from Tibetan into English. Dawa-Samdup died in 1922 after completing the funerary section of the book and Evans-Wentz filled in the rest accourding to his own knowledge. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is an excellent example of the core tenets of Buddhism and of eastern philosophy in general. A contemporary bookplate on the front pastedown very light foxing to the title page. Overall a beautiful copy. Oxford University Press hardcover

As a funerary text and guide to the afterlife The Tibetan Book of the Dead was read aloud to the dying or recently deceased so that they could know the true nature of the mind and thus obtain enlightenment and liberation from the suffering involved with the endless cycle of death and rebirth.<br /> <br /> "The message is that the Art of Dying is quite as important as the Art of Living or of Coming into Birth of which it is the complement and summation; that the future of being is dependent perhaps entirely upon a rightly controlled death as the second part of this volume setting forth the Art of Reincarnating emphasizes." - the Preface.

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.
