Zářivá prázdnota - Průvodce Tibetskou knihu mrtvých – Fremantle Francesca (2011)

According to the Buddhist view, nothing is permanent, and our world is created and destroyed at every moment. This view is foreign to most of us because we live in a strange dream that continues from one birth to the next. Only when we wake up from it do the scales fall from our eyes, and we become enlightened. This is precisely the main wish of Radiant Emptiness. The fascinating book Radiant Emptiness is a detailed guide to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, one of the most famous texts of Tibetan Buddhism. It clarifies its mysterious images, concepts, and ideas and relates the symbolic world to the experiences of ordinary life for each of us. Francesca Fremantle presents the classic Tibetan work as a precious aid for the dying and at the same time as an immensely useful manual for the living, embodied. She explains the views of Tibetan Buddhism on life, death, and rebirth, introduces the significance of the five energies and five elements, as well as the mental and physical experiences of dying according to Tibetan tradition. Francesca Fremantle (Ph.D.) lives in London and is a research worker and translator of Sanskrit and Tibetan works of Hindu and Buddhist tantra. She obtained her doctorate in philosophy from the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London...
