Guided Meditation on the Bardos - the experiences after death
Download MP3In Buddhism, the term "bardo" refers to intermediate states or transitional phases experienced between death and rebirth. The concept of bardo comes primarily from Tibetan Buddhism, particularly from the Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol), although similar ideas exist in other Buddhist traditions.
One of the purposes of understanding the bardo is to help one navigate the process of death and the bardos with awareness, increasing the potential for liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara) and achieving enlightenment (nirvana). This meditation is one of many made to give one practice for such an opportunity at the time of death.
