The Tibetan Book of the Dead

«The Tibetan Book of the Dead» is a famous masterpiece of spiritual literature, published in Russian at least six times. However, this translation is completely unique, as it is the first to be made directly from Tibetan to Russian. This book is as close to the original text as possible while being understandable and accessible to all who are interested in Buddhist philosophy and teachings. This book is important not only for Buddhists, but for anyone who wants to touch the original source. Buddhist teachings state that death is not the end of the journey, but merely a transfer. After death, all people go through the same stages and experience very similar states. Just as the process of a fetus developing in the mother's womb is universal, so is the process of death and transition to the next life and new reincarnation. This book was created to provide people on the brink of death with a kind of «roadmap» for their upcoming journey, as well as to offer helpful guidance to their loved ones.
