	Bardo Thodol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bardo Thodol is recited by lamas over a dying or recently deceased person, or sometimes over an effigy of the deceased.
		According to Tibetan tradition, the Bardo Thodol was composed by Padmasambhava, written down by his wife, Yeshe Tsogyal, buried in the Gampo hills in central Tibet and subsequently discovered by a Tibetan terton, Karma Lingpa.

	Bardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These usually follow a particular sequence of degeneration from, just after death, the clearest experiences of reality of which one is spiritually capable, to, later on, terrifying hallucinations arising from the impulses of one's previous unskilful actions.
		For the spiritually advanced the bardo offers a state of great opportunity for liberation, since transcendental insight may arise with the direct experience of reality, while for others it can become a place of danger as the karmically created hallucinations can impel one into a less than desirable rebirth.
		Bardo Thodol, Liberation through Hearing in the Intermediate State (misleadingly translated under the title The Tibetan Book of the Dead) describes the experiences of bardo.

		For the spiritually advanced the bardo offers a state of great opportunity for liberation, since transcendental insight may arise with the direct experience of reality, whilst for others it can become a place of danger as the karmically karmically created hallucinations can impel one into a less than desirable rebirth.
		This work actually differentiates the intermediate states between lives into three bardos (themselves further subdivided): # the "chikhai bardo" or "bardo of the moment of death" # the "chonyid bardo" or "bardo of the experiencing of reality" # the "sidpa bardo" or "bardo of rebirth".
		The "chonyid bardo" features the experience of visions of various Buddha Buddha forms (or, again, the nearest approximations of which one is capable).

	Tibetan Buddhism and the resolution of grief: The Bardo-Thodol for the dying and the grieving
		Bardo literally means "in between." It indicates a number of transitional or liminal conditions: (a) between birth and death, (b) the meditational state, (c) the dream stage, (d) the moment of dying, (e) the interim between death and rebirth, and (f) the process of rebirth.
		When the Bardo thodol is used for the dying and the dead, the preliminary prayers orient the dying person to the death process and instill a proper frame of mind to assure either a good rebirth or liberation.
		The bardo teachings imagine that the consciousness of the deceased journeys through three liminal stages: (a) the moment of dying ('chi-kha'i-bar-do), (b) the bardo of reality (chos-nyid-kyi-bar-do), and (c) the seeking of rebirth (srid-pa'i- bar-do).

	UM City - The Bardo Thodol
		The Bardo Thodol is a guide for the dying and the dead, a manual helping the departed to recognize, with the help of a competent lama, the various stages of the intermediate state between death and subsequent rebirth and to attain liberation.
		The experiences in the Chonyid Bardo consists of successive visions of a rich panoply of divine and demonic presences that one encounters during his or her journey from the moment of death to the time of seeking rebirth.
		A culmination of the experiences in the Sidpa Bardo is the scene of judgment, during which the Lord and Judge of the Dead, whose name is Yama Raja or Dharma Raja, examines the past actions of the individual from a karmic point of view with the help of his tale-telling mirror.

	The Tibetan Book of the Dead
		The Bardo Thodol is a guide that is read aloud to the dead while they are in the state between death and reincarnation in order for them to recognize the nature of their mind and attain liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
		The instructions in the Bardo Thodol are for him to attempt to recognize the Voidness of all these beings, including the Lord of Death himself; the dead person is told that this entire scene unfolding around him is a projection from his own mind.
		He is warned of this by the text of the Bardo Thodol, and urged not to enter them, but to meditate upon the Clear Light instead; for it is still possible for him to achieve the third degree of liberation and avoid rebirth.

	Bardo
		The Bardo Thodol (Bardo Thos-grol), (literally: "liberation through hearing in the intermediate state) the so-called Tibetan Book of the Dead describes bardo experiences.
		The Bardo Thodol also mentions three other bardos: those of "life" (or ordinary waking consciousness), of "dhyana", and of "dream".
		Indeed, on can consider any momentary state of consciousness a bardo, since it lies between our past and future existences; it provides us with the opportunity to experience reality, which is always present but obscured by the projections and confusions due to our previous unskilful actions.

	Bardo Thodol
		"Bardo Thodol" is the first episode this year that has really made an effort to address that issue and construct a rebuttal to it, by suggesting the real victory is not found in self-preservation or power, but in achieving this clear view of good and evil and abiding by it.
		"Bardo Thodol" was co-written by first-time scribe Virginia Stock and Millennium veteran Chip Johannessen, who demonstrates once again that he has a good handle on Frank and Emma but should really stay away from these conspiracy stories.
		At a fundamental level, I like what "Bardo Thodol" does, which is to examine the conflict between good and evil in terms of a contest for knowledge rather than a contest for power.

		Accordingly, one function of the Bardo Thodol appears to be more to help those who have been left behind to adopt the right attitude towards the dead and towards the fact of death than to assist the dead, who, according to Buddhist belief, will not deviate from their own karmic path.
		If, in the second Bardo, the voyager is incapable of holding on to the knowledge that the peaceful and wrathful visions were projections of his own mind, but became attracted to or frightened by one or more of them, he will enter the Third Bardo.
		In the original Bardo Thodol the aim of the teachings is "liberation," i.e., release from the cycle of birth and death.

	Mirrors of the Heart-Mind - Bardo
		The Bardo, or Between, is the postdeath plane of existence wherein one's enduring consciousness wanders between the end of this life and the next rebirth.
		The experience of each individual in the Bardo, and the length of time one spends there, is dependent upon one's understanding of the processes of death and dying, and the training for death that is undertaken during life.
		Although the Bardo Thodol is part of the more rigorous Tantric or Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, with its particular methods for attaining instantaneous enlightenment, it is also a popular manual intended for the Tibetan layperson who may not be knowledgeable in yogic meditational practice; so, it's teachings encompass the gamut of Tibetan Buddhist practice.

	The Bardo Thodel - The Tibetan Book Of The Dead
		It is obvious that the genuine occult knowledge in the Bardo Thodel has been obscured by Buddhist Tantric iconography and symbolism: the appearance of the various Buddhas, their precise iconographic attributes, and so on.
		During this bardo the consciousness descends and chooses a new body to be born into.
		Thus the goal of the Hellenistic after-life is equivalent to the initial state of the Tibetan after-life; and the final state of the Tibetan bardo equivalent to the initial state of the Hellenistic conception: the proximity with the physical body.
