The Tibetan Book of the Dead: A User Manual for Dying

from Crazy Alchemist · host Crazy Alchemist

The Bardo Thodol is not a book about death. It is a set of instructions read aloud to the dying and recently dead, guiding them through 49 days of visions, wrathful deities, and choices that shape rebirth. Written in 8th-century Tibet, rediscovered in the 14th century, adapted for LSD trips in the 1960s, and now compared to DMT research. The text refuses to stay buried.
