Description

The Tibetan Book of the Dead, also known as Bardo Thödol, is a revered Tibetan Buddhist text that guides the soul through the experiences and transitions that occur between death and rebirth. Attributed to the 8th-century master Padmasambhava and later discovered by Karma Lingpa, the text offers spiritual instructions meant to be read aloud to the dying or recently deceased. It describes the various stages (bardos) of consciousness after death, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the illusory nature of reality to achieve liberation or a favorable rebirth.
