The Bardo (Zoom Teaching)

Teaching by Khenpo Jampa Rinpoche
Sunday, August 23
Time: 1:00 pm, Pacific Time
There is no class fee, but donations are accepted

The term Bardo is a compound word, made up of the two Tibetan words "bar" and "do". Bar means "in between" and Do means "suspended," or "thrown." Together, they have the meaning "transition," as in a transition between two states. Ven. Khenpo Jampa Rinpoche will explain to us the Six Bardos, and teach us daily practices connected with each, along with detailed instructions to prepare for the painful Bardo of dying, in order to maximize the chances of a positive rebirth.
