  ABOUT THE BOOK
  
  
  In this classic scripture of Tibetan Buddhism—traditionally read aloud to the
  dying to help them attain liberation—death and rebirth are seen as a process
  that provides an opportunity to recognize the true nature of mind. This
  translation of _The Tibetan Book of the Dead_ emphasizes the practical advice
  that the book offers to the living. The insightful commentary by Chögyam
  Trungpa, written in clear, concise language, explains what the text teaches us
  about human psychology. This book will be of interest to people concerned with
  death and dying, as well as those who seek greater spiritual understanding in
  everyday life.
