The Tibetan Book of the Dead: A Biography.
Donald S. Lopez 2011
Hardback, 192 pages, 190 x 114 mm
'"The Tibetan Book of the Dead" is not really Tibetan, it is not really a book, and it is not really about death'. In this compelling introduction and short history, Lopez tells the strange story of how a relatively obscure and malleable collection of Buddhist texts of uncertain origin came to be so revered - and so misunderstood - in the West. The central character in this story is Walter Evans-Wentz (1878-1965), an eccentric scholar and spiritual seeker from Trenton, New Jersey, who, despite not knowing the Tibetan language and never visiting the country, crafted and named "The Tibetan Book of the Dead".
