DVD Reviews of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (A Way of Life / The Great Liberation)
DVD Review: BEST FOR NDE RESEARCH
Summary: 5 Stars
For years, I've been studying books on the afterlife, and this video has the best information. I'm impressed by the accuracy of the Buddhist teachings. This may be because Tibet is the *highest* region in the world with an average elevation of 16,000FT =)
According to the NDE Research Foundation, 15+ million people today have experienced NDEs and yet Buddhism described this 1,000+ years ago, long before any advanced medication or worldwide communication was available.
Ketamine was not invented until the 1960s, and this is the #1 reason why Atheists today like David Mills and Marshall Brain deny the reality of an afterlife. How could Ketamine be responsible for NDEs that occurred 1,000s of years ago? The afterlife was described by ancient Egyptians, Buddhists and famous Philosophers (Plato, Socrates).

I didn't enjoy seeing the dead being handled. I wasn't expecting that. It was interesting, except for that. I can't seem to get that nauseating feeling from my belly when I think of this cd.
Description of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (A Way of Life / The Great Liberation)
Death is real, it comes without warning and it cannot be escaped. An ancient source of strength and guidance, The Tibetan Book of the Dead remains an essential teaching in the Buddhist cultures of the Himalayas. Narrated by Leonard Cohen, this enlightening two-part series explores the sacred text and boldly visualizes the afterlife according to its profound wisdom. Part 1: A Way of Life reveals the history of The Tibetan Book of the Dead and examines its traditional use in northern India, as well as its acceptance in Western hospices. Shot over a four-month period, the film contains footage of the rites and liturgies for a deceased Ladakhi elder and includes an interview with the Dalai Lama, who shares his views on the book's meaning and importance. Part 2: The Great Liberation follows an old lama and his novice monk as they guide a Himalayan villager into the afterlife using readings from The Tibetan Book of the Dead. The soul's 49-day journey towards rebirth is envisioned through actual photography of rarely seen Buddhist rituals, interwoven with groundbreaking animation by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Ishu Patel.General DVDs
