Y. Evans Wentz）於1927年編輯出版，名為《西藏度亡經》（The Tibetan Book of the Dead），傳入西方，成為英語世界深遠影響的藏傳佛教經典。「凡夫之人，報盡命終，將入已入，中陰境界。有上妙法，使之聽聞，即得救度，是名中陰救度密法。」人在捨報之後，由於沒有了身體的煩惱束縛，覺性反而更加廓然分明，學佛人這時候更加應該生起菩提心以證悟法性。佛陀以一大事因緣出興於世，正是要救度眾生出三界火宅，永離生死流轉。世人聞說此法，無論是臨終者或是亡者，都可以因而解除種種「中陰險難」的恐怖，證入不生不滅的法性。「從一七、二七，乃至七七，不斷導示，提醒亡者識神，使得著落。究竟不離實相，處處呼令識自本心。離開有喜樂忿怒等觀境，已指示其未在心識以外。時時囑念觀世音，尤相應於無緣大慈悲主，誠哉度亡妙法。」
