Two videos on The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Narr: Leonard Cohen

[SageTree]

Personally these mean much to me and I wish to share them.

Leonard Cohen narrates these wonderful videos. The first one is the cultural usage and the second pertains to the actual action during the Bardo transition.

The first video has both. The second link is a link to just the second video.

Also, thoughts and feelings on this are welcomed of course.

I have posted a few things from my blog in spiritual smoke, so pardon the reposts, but I wish to generate some more comments and perhaps the board is a better place that where I create and paint my collage of thoughts and feelings, my life.

It's getting to be winter soon, and there is nothing better to do one a cool rainy/snowy day.

Two really good pieces, hope you enjoy them both.

Serious question here,Does the Tibetan strand of buddhism deviate from the buddha's original teachings by maintaining a belief in reincarnation? If there is no self or no soul what is that can reincarnate? thanks

I believe Thich Nhat Hahn describes it the best when he labels it 'manifestation'.
In my understanding the Buddha denied the existence of a permanent, non-changing "Self".

Here is a thread that has already been talking about this a little and might provide a variety of useful opinions and understandings.
