Evans-Wentz, W. Y. Tibetan Book of the Dead
Oxford University Press 1980 0-19-281302-1 / 9780192813022 Paperback
Paperback in good condition. Page edges are marked and pages yellowing with age.FROM THE PUBLISHERThe Tibetan Book of the Dead is one of the texts that, according to legend,Padma-Sambhava was compelled to hide during his visit to Tibet in the late8th century. The guru hid his books in stones, lakes, and pillars becausethe Tibetans of that day and age were somehow unprepared for their teachings. Now, in the form of the ever-popular Tibetan Book of the Dead, these teachings are constantly being discovered and rediscovered by Western readersof many different backgrounds - a phenomenon which began in 1927 with Oxford's first edition of Dr. Evans-Wentz's landmark volume. While it is traditionally used as a mortuary text, to be read or recited in the presence of adead or dying person, this book - which relates the whole experience of death and rebirth in three intermediate states of being - was originally understood as a guide not only for the dead but also for the living. As a contribution to the science of death and dying - not to mention the belief in life after death, or the belief in texts of the world, for its socio-culturalinfluence in this regard is without comparison.FROM THE CRITICSLibrary JournalEvans-Wentz, an Oxford professor, produced a number of original studies on Tibetan Buddhism from the 1930s to the 1960s, which went through several editions. Oxford here resurrects four of these works, which now include new forewords and afterwords by scholar Donald S. Lopez who also analyzes the earlier editions. More for academic collections.
