Abstract

Tibetan Buddhism is represented by several schools or traditions, each of which includes certain religious and mystical practices and is based on the meditative experience of the guru. In addition, Tibetan Buddhist schools are based on specific teachings presented in written and oral sources. The study of written sources is carried out most often from the standpoint of hermeneutics and textual studies, since it requires interpretation, interpretation and understanding of existing texts. One such text containing a special Tibetan teaching is the Bardo Thedol, or Book of the Dead, which largely reflects the peculiarities of Buddhism and its traditions. The reference to the text of the Book of the Dead has been carried out several times, because this source is characterized by a high degree of difficulty in understanding, and its hermeneutic interpretation in the context of this article allows us to reflect in more detail the allusiveness and metaphorical description of the mystical practice of dying.
