In 'Immortality and Reincarnation', Alexandra David-Néel, an explorer and scholar of Tibetan Buddhism, introduces us to the depths of Eastern spiritual traditions. Through this work, David-Néel explores ancient concepts of Chinese Taoism, Hinduism, and Tibetan Buddhism, including the teachings of the Bardo Todol. The author addresses the human search for immortality in the face of the transient nature of existence, examining myths, doctrines, and practices that seek to comfort and reaffirm faith in eternal life.
Alexandra David-Néel was a French explorer, spiritualist, Buddhist, anarchist, opera singer, and writer. She is most known for her 1924 visit to Lhasa, Tibet, when it was forbidden to foreigners. David-Néel wrote over 30 books about Eastern religion, philosophy, and her travels, including Magic and Mystery in Tibet, which was published in 1929. Her teachings influenced the beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, the popularisers of Eastern philosophy Alan Watts and Ram Dass, and the esotericist Benjamin Creme.
