Luminous Emptiness: Understanding the Tibetan Book of the Dead - Francesca Fremantle
A lucid commentary exploring the hidden teachings of this perennial classic. Chogyam Trungpa once said that the Tibetan Book of the Dead could just as well have been called the Tibetan Book of Birth. He explained that it is a misunderstanding to treat this work as part of the lore of death or as comparable to books about other death traditions, because the ancient text points out the fundamental principle of birth and death recurring constantly in this life. It describes not only the process of dissolution, but also the process of coming into being, and how these two processes are continually at work in every moment of life.
