Putting the Teachings on the Bardo into Effective Practice
"Just as the appearances of this life are produced by states of mind, so are the appearences in the bardo and the appearances in one's future lives produced by states of mind. Positive states of mind produce positive experiences, and negative states of mind produce negative appearances or experiences. Therefore, if you cultivate a positive state of mind in this life, the appearances or experiences of this life, of future lives , and of the bardo will become more and more positive."
