A scholar of Buddhism, an expert in Sanskrit and the Tibetan language, and a student of the Tibetan guru Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, in her work, presents the classic “Tibetan Book of the Dead” not as a sacred scripture for reading over the dead, but as an instruction addressed to the living. In the book “Shining Emptiness,” the reader is presented with the hidden meanings contained in this ancient text, and a mystical picture of its rich symbolism unfolds. “Shining Emptiness” will give amazing discoveries and new insights not only to those who are becoming acquainted with Buddhist teachings for the first time, but also to those who have already taken the Buddhist path to spiritual awakening.
