Features: This book systematically introduces the theory of life and death in Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana from a popular perspective. Where do humans come from, and what world will they encounter after death? Humans have been striving to find answers to this question. With the magical charm of Thangka art, this book vividly and clearly presents the unique views of Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana—the belief that after death, humans enter the bardo state and are repeatedly reborn in the endless cycle of the six realms. At the same time, it reveals the concrete depiction of hell and its profound impact on worldly beings through detailed and insightful descriptions. The book selects over 100 exquisite and highly valuable Thangkas, famous murals from Tibetan monasteries, and other religious artworks. In a clear and accessible writing style, accompanied by concise and precise explanations, it uncovers the most mysterious concepts of rebirth and life and death in Tibetan Buddhism.
