There is also a
Tibetan Book of the Dead. Rather than instructing the
living in
caring for the
deceased it provides instructions for the newly
dead. The book should be
read to the
corpse as the
soul makes its way through the
first few
days of the
afterlife. This is a very
hazardous time, and the sould will only find
happiness and
rest if it follows the
correct path.
(Hey, where do I get my
free Tibet?)
