Answer
Hello Husain,

In Advayavada Buddhism we consider the belief in such things as backward superstition. However, make up your own mind, as you always should. Insiders recommend starting with a good illustrated version, such as:

The Illustrated Tibetan Book of the Dead: A New Reference Manual for the Soul (Paperback)
Stephen Hodge (Author) Martin Boord (Author)

You can e.g. buy it second hand at Amazon UK.

Kind regards,
Advayavadananda.
