Despite the book's somewhat questionable origins, I found the content to be beneficial, even essential, for my own esoteric studies and for those interested in expanding their own understanding of the ancient teachings, mainly when talking about Eastern esotericism, of course. There is a lot of commentary in the book, but the deliberations are fascinating and vital if you're going to try to understand the book's deeper concepts.

Essentially, when you die, you enter another state of consciousness. Everything you see and experience in the afterlife appears real, but--like a dream--the only genuine reality hides behind the myriad of illusions you confront. If you train yourself in this state of consciousness, the life you're living right now, and discipline yourself in the esoteric lore that has survived the ages, when you die, you'll find the path to Absolute Freedom. There are many names for this Truth, so I use more generic references. Some call it Love, others call it God, and--of course--there's the title Nirvana.

Without a guide to help direct you to the great light of truth, you are very likely to interpret an illusion as reality or you might simply succumb to the desires which those illusions instill. Perhaps you have unfinished business on this plane of existence. Maybe you still want to experience sex more, have a family, or help people. Maybe you died unexpectedly and you're confused and want to return to those you knew. Maybe you're angry and want to punish the world you felt treated you terribly. Regardless of what motivation overcomes you, the illusions will alter and intensify accordingly and create images you will mistake as being real and necessary to gravitate towards or runaway from--aimlessly even, until you're hopelessly lost. Thus, you are reborn.

Although the text seems to indicate that the training process is relatively simple, I'm convinced that it takes multiple lifetimes to really train your consciousness to know what to remember and what to do in the afterlife to avoid rebirth. Another name for this forgetfulness is afterlife retrogression. Many experience it, and--alas--many are reincarnated, their past decisions determining their future circumstances in the next life.

What this book does is begin the long-long-long journey towards natural transmutation. Your body is a temple, the greatest Great Pyramid ever built. Every body you inhabit is equally grand. Without True Education, though, the pyramid remains vacant, unused. It becomes a tomb. If you open the doors to the tomb and rise again to hear the Word, you might learn the path to true salvation. Does any of this rhetoric sound familiar? Everywhere the teachings of Eastern and Western ideologies blend, but the Tibetan Book of the Dead clarifies what is basically important in this life: avoid afterlife retrogression, break the cycle of necessity, and become One.

For a greater appreciation of these concepts, I recommend the writings of Manly Hall (namely "Death to Rebirth: Five Essays by Manly Hall"), a translation of the Corpus titled The Way of Hermes, Jewish mystic teachings found in the Bahir and the Sefer Yetzirah, Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy that can be found in the Dialogues and The Enneads, and, of course, the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead Or The AfterDeath Experiences on the Bardo Plane according to Lama Kazi DawaSamdup English Rendering Galaxy Books W Y EvansWentz Lama Anagarika Govinda John Woodruffe C G Jung Books Reviews

Excellent exposition of the possibilities that arise after the soul withdraws from the body. It doesn't really matter if one believes or not. What matters in this book is that it makes one reflect upon all of the possibilities not only after death but during this lifetime. One becomes more conscious of one's current activities!
Cleared up a number of questions I had and helped me to correlate and verify certain kinds of information.
Read it well and wisely. What more could be said than already has been?

If one doesn't know what they're buying, this book will be an adventure for first time trippers, scholars, and mystics alike. Akin to many scriptural texts, the book needs be read aloud and studied with care for its illuminatory properties to influence oneself adequately. There are many interpretations and commentaries included for those new to such texts, and overall, these are worth the additional time and interest, if somewhat predictable for the familiar.
Bought for someone who just experienced a death at her office of a young person. This is what I read after my NDE and so I thought this might help her.
Still reading it again for the first time in years. Heavy duty but relevant with respect to thinking of the important issues of life and death. Of course it's a magnificent classic. Thanks for the speedy delivery. It will take me a while to digest the work at my nightly pace. Much food for thought with respect to right living and pondering the nature of life as well as the afterlife.
There are far better versions of this book out there written by exiles from Tibet. I'm sure ol Walt had great intentions, but the first five pages of this book made my head want to explode with all the footnotes, parenthetical and asides.
Newer edition of the old Evans-Wentz favorite. Added forward, original text intact. Good bet for those of us who have lost their original copy and can't afford a first edition, new or otherwise..
