Garchen Bardo 2012

By Garchen Rinpoche, during the 2011/2012 Winter Teachings at the Garchen Institute.

These rare teachings on the six bardos reveal how to turn every phase of life into an opportunity to experience an uncontrived and natural liberation. In life and in death, in meditation and in sleep, every transitional phase of consciousness, or bardo, provides a chance to overcome limitations, frustrations, and fears and live in a profound state of freedom. The six bardos include the three bardos of this life: the bardo of living, the bardo of dreaming, and the bardo of meditation, and the three bardos beyond this life: the bardo of dying, the bardo of dharmata, and the bardo of becoming.

Sangha members who attended these teachings spoke about them in the incredible way that they describe the Ganges Mahamudra teachings that Garchen Rinpoche gave in Tuscon in 2005. The direct transmission of these teachings are truly remarkable!
