A Guidebook for the Dead
In today’s FBA Dharmabyte, “A Guidebook for the Dead” Padmavajra explores the great text that reveals the realms between death and new life, where anything is possible in the Bardo – the ‘intermediate state’. This is also an excellent introduction to the recent history of the text itself as it has come into the West and influenced practitioners and cultural figures in many significant ways.
From the talk, “Tibetan Book the Dead: Talk 1 – The Six Bardos” 2005, as part of series: “The Tibetan Book the Dead: Bardo Thodol.”
