DVD Reviews of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (A Way of Life / The Great Liberation)
DVD Review: Hypnotic and Meditative
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD is broken up into 2 parts one entitled "A Way of Life" and the other "The Great Liberation" each about 45 minutes in length.
These episodes take a look into the life of the villages amongst the Himalayas where these people live Buddhism daily (not just practice it). There are 2 interesting story lines (one in each part) depicted of the rituals involved when a loved one passes. It shows how the Lama and his students perform the reading and ritual of sacred text to help the passed move into a better transition for re-birth.
The second part is a little more of a telling of story rather than documentary. The narration throughout is a bit hypnotic and will provide a sense of a waking meditation as you listen and watch the information provided.
I have seen some of these filmed excerpts in other documentaries, however this was the first to translate into English when the Lama was speaking in front of the dead and their family and friends. This representation of the Book of the Dead is both informative with detail and entertaining to watch.
Anyone studying concepts of death, rebirth and/or the metaphysical will enjoy the information and presentation in this DVD. Students of metaphysics will also notice similarities between the Tibetan teachings of the continuation of life and other religious and philosophical teachings. A good one for the home collection. 4 stars.
