Tibetan Sunsets. In Search of Subtle Consciousness

The book tells about the unique experiments of Russian scientists in Tibetan monasteries in India, commissioned by the Dalai Lama to prove or disprove the existence of thukdam — post-mortem meditation in experienced Buddhist practitioners.
The stages of dying — are a kind of "map" of the deep levels of the mind, which manifest in everyday life but usually remain unnoticed. The heroes of the book — world-renowned brain researchers — try to explore the profound levels of consciousness step by step, encountering many obstacles along the way. To overcome them, the scientists need to change themselves. The reader is given a unique opportunity to conduct genuine scientific research together with the heroes, the outcome of which is unknown from the very beginning, to follow its logic, and experience frustrations and insights.
