I read one of the DLs books and all the way through I was thinking this is
surpisingly shallow and "surface" not the words of somone who has had the
experience of enlightenment. And, lo and behold, at the end he says that one
day he hopes to have a transcendental experience.
I've always prefered reading Buddhism to the movements guff, maybe because I
read it first, but it's an odd scenario to have the man at the top not
really knowing what he's talking about.
I can't comment on the book of the dead but I file all religious writing
under "yet to be proved" the Tibetan wheel of life is a masterpiece however
and wll worth a look
