This shroud, deeply rooted in Buddhist practice, is designed to be placed on the body of the recently deceased. Imprinted with powerful blessing mantras, it is believed to "liberate upon physical contact" by invoking blessings and guiding the spirit on its journey through the Bardo, the intermediate state between death and rebirth.

Symbolism & Meaning

In the Tibetan Buddhist Bardo teachings, there are sacred objects, materials, and mantras that are believed to "liberate upon sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch." This shroud is one such object, created to assist in the transition of the deceased from this world to the next. By covering the body with this blessed shroud, the practitioner ensures that the blessings of liberation are continuously imparted throughout the process of death, burial, and cremation.
