The Tibetan Buddhists’ BOOK OF THE DEAD gives spiritual instructions on coaching a dead or dying person through the 49 days of “bardo” between death and the next reincarnation. Instructions include welcoming into oneself all beings encountered in the netherworld—whether good or terrifying. Severe consequences are promised if these instructions are not obeyed. Timothy Leary, guru of the hippie/LSD movement, made the Tibetan Book of the Dead the basis of his psychedelic experiments. (wikipedia)
