This book also contains the most powerful mantras to say for those who are dying or who have died, teachings on their precise benefits, as well as a sheet of mantras to place upon the body of one who has died. It contains precious Sutra texts to benefit the minds of those who are dying, to relieve pain, and to purify negative karma.
