Tibetan Book of the Dead: The Timeless Buddhist Guide to Life, Death, and Rebirth by W. Y. Evans-Wentz

The Tibetan Book of the Dead presents religious instructions connected with dying, intermediate states and rebirth. This English edition is associated with W. Y. Evans-Wentz’s early presentation of the Tibetan material to Western readers.

It offers a text for studying Tibetan Buddhist understandings of consciousness and liberation. Its visions and instructions belong to a religious tradition, not verified descriptions of what happens after death or a substitute for end-of-life care.
