Learn about The Tibetan Book of the Dead and its influence on the U.S. counterculture in the 1960s, as well as other cultures around the world. You’ll discover why some academic authorities say the book is not really Tibetan, a book, or about death. Instead, it is an odd jumble of spiritualism mixed with pseudo-psychology that would seem almost bizarre to most Tibetan Buddhists. The course then concludes with a summary question and answer.
