Bardo Thodol: The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Description

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a sort of deathbed manual. It was written specifically to be read aloud throughout the dying process (by a master or spiritual companion). This is because, according to Buddhist doctrine, receiving some deep teachings at the time of death allows one to achieve nirvana or enlightenment.
