Teaching on the Six Bardos by Lama Tsering Gyaltsen at Saraha Nyingma Buddhist Institute by Saraha Nyingma Buddhist Institute published on 2013-11-04T22:16:34Z Teachings given on March 8, 2013 by Lama Tsering Gyaltsen, a founding teacher, at Saraha Nyingma Buddhist Institute in Eugene, Oregon, USA on the subject "The Six Bardo's - The Intermediate States of Existence" “Bardo” is a Tibetan word meaning literally “between two,” which in Buddhism refers to the idea that within Samsara all states of existence are not static, but are actually continuous, successive, ordered facets of beginningless transition. What we usually refer to as “life and death” are only two among the six bardos that are traditionally enumerated. Each Bardo has its own form of expression and development, and each presents beings with unique opportunities for the realization of enlightenment, or for advancement toward enlightenment, or conversely for decline into greater suffering. Bardo teachings such as these are an important key to knowing where we are, which way to go, and how to proceed.
