Description
The Tibetan Book of the Dead, a best-seller for three decades, is one of the most widely read texts of Tibetan Buddhism. Over the years, it has been studied and cherished by Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
Luminous Emptiness
is a detailed guide to this classic work, elucidating its mysterious concepts, terms, and imagery. Fremantle relates the symbolic world of the
Tibetan Book of the Dead
to the experiences of everyday life, presenting the text not as a scripture for the dying, but as a guide for the living.
According to the Buddhist view, nothing is permanent or fixed. The entire world of our experience is constantly appearing and disappearing at every moment. Using vivid and dramatic imagery, the
Tibetan Book of the Dead
presents the notion that most of us are living in a dream that will continue from lifetime to lifetime until we truly awaken by becoming enlightened. Here, Fremantle, who worked closely with Chgyam Trungpa on the 1975 translation of the
Tibetan Book of the Dead
(Shambhala), brings the expertise of a lifetime of study to rendering this intriguing classic more accessible and meaningful to the living.
Luminous Emptiness
features in-depth explanations of:
The Tibetan Buddhist notions of death and rebirth
The meaning of the five energies and the five elements in Tibetan Buddhism
The mental and physical experience of dying, according to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition
