OK, so I die, then 49 days later I make pastries inside a woman's womb? How does the dough get in there?

Well, hell. I didn't escape for about 270 days. To make matters worse, I have no idea what iteration I'm on.

Well. Can't say I understood it, but I loved it.

I read the W.Y. Evans-Wentz translation some years ago. My copy is a paperback. Thank you, hortense, for posting this. Since it is a doctrine that saves by hearing, although I've read it, does anyone have a link to the whole ritual audio? I might like it to be played when the time comes. Perhaps I shan't shrink from liberation if they get it loud enough. As I understand it, in Tibetan tantric Buddhism new texts may introduce themselves in their time, found as revealed, as this once was. That's interesting.
