Tibet, America, and the Book of the Dead

The Tibetan Book of the Dead, edited by W. Y. Evans Wentz, was published in 1927 and became an instant classic, passing through numerous editions, and subsequent versions by other authors. Donald Lopez, Ph.D., Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies at the University of Michigan, tells the story of how a relatively obscure Tibetan work became the most famous Buddhist text in the western world.
