BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Buddhism Tibetan Bardoes - Life and Death States

Due partly to Loong's thread on the book The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, I decided to update my old article on the six bardos, or states of being, within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as my latest article:

The Six Bardos of Tibetan Buddhism

The point of studying these is not simply preparing for death, they are states we also experience in some form during life, during practice.

Hey Lisa,

I love this article. I connect more with the "Third Bardos". I see that you have many talents - I am not surprised. Thanks for sharing!

Tuculia, so glad you enjoyed it. It's wonderful you feel a connection to the 'third bardo' since that is true meditation. I'd love to hear more - whether that is through meditation or spontaneous experiences you have had. Thanks for commenting!
