	Description:		What happens when we die? Maybe this book has the answers! 'The Tibetan Book Of The Dead' by Padmasambhava is a hidden Tibetan text that explains the 'bardo', the intermediate zone between death & rebirth. It is a companion to be used as a guide for those transitions from life into the next process. There are clear instructions for loved ones/care givers to follow and what to expect in the days following cessation of life. I summarised the book as follows. "A large part of religion is finding meaning, with some practicality attached as well. I personally found this mostly useless but it did get me thinking about the actual logistics of death and caring for dying loved ones. I appreciate Buddhism more than most religions but draw the line at deities & unverifiable claims." I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
