Description
An ancient source of strength and guidance, The Tibetan Book of the Dead remains an essential teaching originating in the spiritual cultures of the Himalayas. The first part of the film reveals its history and examines its traditional use in northern India, as well as its acceptance in Western hospices. In the second part of the film, an old lama and his novice monk are followed as they guide a Himalayan villager into the afterlife. The soul's 49-day journey towards rebirth is envisioned through actual photography of rarely seen Buddhist rituals.
