度亡经藏语བར་དོ་ཐོས་གྲོལ威利转写bar do thos grolTHLbardo thödröl(巴多脱卓)),即《西藏度亡经》,又译为《中阴得度法》或《中阴救度密法》、《中阴闻教救度大法》,此书是伏藏,在14世纪时被发掘。由宁玛派伏藏师事业洲(Karma Gling-pa, 1376-1394)所取出的莲花生大士岩藏法《寂静忿怒密意自解脱》自称是作者为八世纪印度高僧莲花生大师留下来的伏藏密书,该书依照佛教义理介绍了人离世后处于中有阶段的演变情形。该阶段最长49天,然后开始下一期生命。有人认为此书参杂苯教观念,和佛教论典的“中有”教义不符[1]

度亡经手抄本.

亡者的心识将幻化文武百尊,为寂静本尊相四十二尊,忿怒本尊相五十八尊。以强烈光体显现,根据莲花生所说,只要亡者在中阴时期辨识出文武百尊中任何一尊,当下即可融入本尊光体中,获得解脱

如果有正确方法的引导,灵魂在此期间可以得到解脱、出离轮回。所以中阴救度的意义非常重要,这也是本书在一千多年来备受重视的原因。

该书由西藏喇嘛达瓦桑杜及其美国弟子温慈博士编译为英文,于1927年出版后引起国际影响。心理学家卡尔·荣格对此书进行评述,称之为他的“随身伴侣”。

本书由中华民国学者徐进夫于1982年译成中文出版,北京宗教文化出版社于1995年在大陆出版简体字版本。
