This version of the bardo thodol I got back in 2000, oxford university press. A great translation. I read through it somewhat many years back, though kind'of just chucked it off to the side and never had picked it up since. I've been re-reading much through it, still towards the beginning. I highly recommend this copy if the bardo thodol is of interest.
This is as much a guide for Life as it is for Death. Interpenetrated.
I'm leaving this thread fairly open for discussion, and I'll add my own thoughts, questions and whatnot as it progresses [if it does].
**You can also throw in your own versions/translations [if you have them] - to compare and contrast.
Since I'm somewhat lazy to type out page after page of literature - I'm going to snap page pictures as I go - of the pages that are of interest. I'll probably do a page or two per day, and go from there.
All very interesting, especially when contemplating the words, how they're said, and how they parallel the extremely immediate dissolution and profundity of DMT, learning to die.
Onward
