Тибетская книга мертвых

The Tibetan Book of the Dead - in Tibetan Bardo Thedol, or Liberation through hearing at the level after death - is unique among the sacred books of the world. This treatise is based on the occult knowledge of yoga philosophy and represents the quintessence of the basic doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism. Like the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Bardo Thedol is intended to serve as a mystical guide to the other world, full of many illusions and realms, whose boundaries are death and birth. It describes the mental phenomena that occur at the moment of death, the so-called “karmic illusions,” as well as the emergence of the birth instinct and the events that precede a new birth. The treatise, written many centuries ago and kept by many generations of saints and prophets of the blessed Land of the Snowy Peaks, was revealed to the West in the 20th century and most amazingly anticipated the teachings of analytical psychology of Carl Jung, whose article on the Tibetan Book of the Dead precedes the publication.
