Tibetan Book of the Dead

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" ("Bardo Thodol") 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 be calm during the process of dying? How can one recognize their own "self" during the transition to a new, post-mortem 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 personality? Death and life after it are eternal, 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.
