The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Bardo Thodol

A person is afraid of death. But what scares them in this natural transition to another stage of existence? Is it not the fear of the unknown? The "Tibetan Book of the Dead" is one of the most popular works of Buddhism in the West, which was studied and commented on by Carl Gustav Jung. It is dedicated to how a person can peacefully accept the process of dying and what happens to the soul afterwards. How can one remain calm during the process of dying? How can one recognize their own "self" when transitioning to a new, post-death reality? And why do reflections on the end of life, in all its spiritual aspects, lead to liberation from the fear of it, cleansing and healing the individual? Death and life after it are eternally important questions for humans. Therefore, the "Tibetan Book of the Dead," written, according to tradition, in the 8th century, remains relevant and interesting for readers even today.
