The book provides practical instructions for meditation, visualization, and mantra recitation to aid individuals in facing these transitions with clarity and calm.

This text is an invaluable resource for practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism and those interested in the esoteric aspects of Buddhist philosophy.
Bardo teachings are about the continuity and ongoing nature of mind and experience. These instructions relate directly to everyday life as well as death.
Bardo is a Tibetan word and it describes the primary transitions through the various levels of experience constituting the process of embodiment and reincarnation. Bardo teachings are about the continuity and ongoing nature of mind and experience. These instructions relate directly to everyday life as well as death. According to the Buddha, all sentient beings are naturally enlightened and have been pure since the beginning. However, due to a small mistake, a little grasping develops into ego-clinging and a state of delusion. The bardo is the interval from the beginning of delusion until the return to the state of primordial nature. Until we reach enlightenment, everything is bardo phenomena. This will continue as long as we persist in dualism.
