Jnanavaca explores ancient teachings from The Tibetan Book of the Dead. This second talk looks at the Bardo of Death.

‍In this stirring three-part series, Jnanavaca explores the‘The Root Verses of the Six Bardos’, which exhort us to make the very best of our human situation. Each talk reflects on a different Bardo, those moments of potential when something new can arise.

The second talk is on: The Bardo of Death
"O now, when the Bardo of the Moment of Death upon me is dawning!
Abandoning attraction and craving, and weakness for all [worldly things],
May I be undistracted in the space of the bright [enlightening] teachings,
May I [be able to] transfuse myself into the heavenly space of the Unborn:
The hour hath come to part with this body composed of flesh and blood;
May I know the body to be impermanent and illusory."
