520 1  "The Tibetan Book of the Dead is one of the texts that, 
       according to legend, Padma-Sambhava was compelled to hide 
       during his visit to Tibet in the late 8th century. The 
       guru hid his books in stones, lakes, and pillars because 
       the Tibetans of that day and age were somehow unprepared 
       for their teachings. Now, in the form of the ever-popular 
       Tibetan Book of the Dead, these teachings are constantly 
       being discovered and rediscovered by Western readers of 
       many different backgrounds - a phenomenon which began in 
       1927 with Oxford's first edition of Dr. Evans-Wentz's 
       landmark volume. While it is traditionally used as a 
       mortuary text, to be read or recited in the presence of a 
       dead or dying person, this book - which relates the whole 
       experience of death and rebirth in three intermediate 
       states of being - was originally understood as a guide not
       only for the dead but also for the living. As a 
       contribution to the science of death and dying - not to 
       mention the belief in life after death, or the belief in 
       texts of the world, for its socio-cultural influence in 
       this regard is without comparison."--Jacket.
