The ultimate meaning of bardo is found in the precious experience of now, recognizing the clarity and beauty of every moment and making it meaningful. Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche begins these talks by introducing the essential meaning of bardo and introducing the more elaborate six stages of bardo:
1) the natural bardo of this life,
2) dream,
3) meditation,
4) death and dying,
5) dharmata, and
6) becoming.
In talks two and three, Rinpoche teaches extensively on the natural bardo of this life, providing moving and uplifting methods for making this life beneficial and meaningful in every moment. In talk four, Rinpoche introduces the bardo of dream, the bardo of meditation, and the bardo of dying. In the final talk, Rinpoche teaches on transforming our fear of dying into an experience of open spacious curiosity and using death as an opportunity to experience the nature of min. The weekend included opportunities for students to ask questions on this emotionally difficult topic.
