Synopsis:
When one dies, the mind takes an intense and important journey through the bardo - the intermediate state between death and rebirth in the next body. To prepare for this journey, we must understand what is happening to us in the bardo and also how we can prepare for this journey while still living.
In these extraordinary taechings Rinpoche gives us a fresh perspective on the bardo. He de-emphasizes the detailed descriptions of the appearances and emphasizes more the relationship between various aspects of one's dharma practice - shamatha, vipassana, mahamudra, ngondro, deity meditation and other aspects of the stages of creation and completion - and one's experience of death and the intermediate state between death and rebirth itself. The instructions given in these teachings are therefore, very practical and meant to be included in one's daily life.
