Liberation Through Hearing

Liberation through Hearing, or more fully, The Great Liberation through Hearing in the Intermediate States (bar-do thos-grol chen-mo), has become widely known by its descriptive nickname used in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead. These secret teachings are attributed to the 8th century Indian Buddhist Master Padma Sambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, and are thought to have then been hidden in Tibet. Such a text is regarded as a “treasure” or terma (gter ma) text to be rediscovered later, as this one was by Karma Lingpa in the 14th century.
A number of legends have grown around Padma Sambhava's life and deeds, and he is widely venerated as a 'second Buddha' across Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Himalayan states of India. The Nyingma School considers Padma Sambhava to be a founder of their tradition.

Eliberarea prin auz, sau mai complet, Marea eliberare prin auz in statele intermediare (bar-do thos-grol chen-mo), a devenit cunoscuta pe scara larga prin porecla sa descriptiva folosita in Occident, Cartea tibetana a mortilor. Aceste invataturi secrete sunt atribuite maestrului budist indian Padma Sambhava din secolul al VIII-lea, cunoscut si sub numele de Guru Rinpoche, si se crede ca a fost ascuns atunci in Tibet.
