The Tibetan Book of the Dead
Book II: The First Method of Closing the Womb-Door (30.1-30.3)
In that manner meditate; but even though this be found inadequate to prevent thee from entering into a womb, and if thou findest thyself ready to enter into one, then there is the profound teaching for closing the womb-door. Listen thou unto it: 'When, at this time, alas! the Sidpa Bardo is dawning upon oneself, Holding in mind one single resolution, Persist in joining up the chain of good karma; Close up the womb-door, and remember the opposition. This is a time when earnestness and pure love are necessary; Abandon jealousy, and meditate upon the Guru Father-Mother.'
