Travels in the Netherworld: Buddhist Popular Narratives of Death and the Afterlife in Tibet
Cuevas, Bryan J. (John F. Priest Professor of Religion, John F. Priest Professor of Religion, Florida State University)
In Travels in the Netherworld, Bryan J. Cuevas examines a fascinating but little-known genre of Tibetan narrative literature about the delok, ordinary men and women who claim to have died, traveled through hell, and then returned from the afterlife. Providing a clear, detailed analysis of four vivid return-from-death tales, including the stories of a Tibetan housewife, a lama, a young noble woman, and a Buddhist monk, Cuevas argues that thesenarratives express ideas about death and the afterlife that held wide currency among all classes of faithful Buddhists in Tibet.
