<<Can we please stop referring to the Bardo Thodrol as the Tibetan book
of the Dead - This is not it's name merely a Western interpretation -
it's actual translation would be closer to 'liberation through
understanding in the between'.>>

Its as good a name as any other. In fact, the Egyptian Book of the Dead
is a made-up name too. Its actual name known by the Egyptians is Coming
Into the Light, or Coming Forth by Day.
