The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Man fears death. But what is it that terrifies him in this natural transition to another stage of existence? Is it not the fear of the unknown? The "Tibetan Book of the Dead" "Bardo Thodol" — one of the most popular works of Buddhism in the West, which was explored and commented on by Carl Gustav Jung himself — is dedicated to how a person can peacefully accept the process of dying and what happens to the soul thereafter. How to remain calm in the process of dying? How to recognize one's own "self" in the transition to a new, post-mortem reality? And why do reflections on the end of life, in all its spiritual aspects, lead to liberation from the fear of it, cleansing and healing the personality? Death and life after it are eternal, important questions for humanity. Therefore, the "Tibetan Book of the Dead", written, according to legend, as far back as the 8th century, remains relevant and interesting to readers even today.
