Death and the Bardo

The Bardo—the intermediate state between death and rebirth—is a time of profound change and transition. Consciousness leaves the body, gross memories evaporate, the senses—and their related feelings—shift. The mind is confused and disoriented; it is like awakening from a coma, with flashbacks of the past life and previews of the life to come. Trungram Gyalwa Rinpoche will describe and explain all this, then share ways to minimize fear and confusion in yourself and others, as you prepare for this transition yourself or help others transition. The teachings will be based on the teachings of Padmasambhava, Guru Rinpoche.
