"In Luminous Emptiness, Francesca Fremantle presents the classic Tibetan Book of the Dead not as a scripture to be read to the dying but as a guide for the living. Fremantle, who worked closely with Chogyam Trungpa on the 1975 translation of the original text, brings the expertise of a lifetime of study to rendering this intriguing classic more accessible and meaningful."--BOOK JACKET.
