Homage to the lord of union, Master over the iron elements of birth, death and between...Over their transformation into gold...
This Highest Yoga Tantra text unfolds in minute detail the complex Tibetan Buddhist system of subtle physiology-providing a complete exposition of the channels, drops and winds which serve as foundations for consciousness. It is essential for the practice of the two stages of the path in Highest Yoga Tantra to have an understanding of the bases to be purified: death, intermediate state and rebirth.
Yang-jen-ga-way-lo-dro's text with Lati Rinbochay's commentary closely examines these processes and stages. Authoritative and concise, Death, Intermediate State and Rebirth is a valuable companion volume to both the more widely known Tibetan Books of the Dead and modern Western works on death and dying. In the Foreword contributed by the present Dalai Lama, His Holiness offers practical, mature advice on how, through correctly approaching the death experience, its spiritual potential can be enhanced for everyone involved.
