The Secret Teachings Of The Tibetan Book Of The Dead

- The Tibetan Book of the Dead, also known as the Bardo Thodol, is an ancient text that has its origins in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
It is a guide to the intermediate state between death & rebirth.
It is read or recited to someone who is dying or has recently died in order to help them navigate the hallucinations & visions that occur.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead offers a unique perspective on the nature of consciousness and the human experience of death and rebirth, teaching that consciousness is not limited to the body and that death is not an end, but rather a transition to a new state of being
The Tibetan Book of the Dead origins can be traced back to the 8th century when the Tibetan king Trisong Detsen directed the Indian Buddhist master Padmasambhava to bring the teachings of Buddhism to Tibet.
Padmasambhava, known also as Guru Rinpoche, brought the teachings on the bardos, or the states between death and rebirth, from his teachers in India.
The teachings were later compiled into the text known today as The Tibetan Book of the Dead.
However, the book is not considered to be Buddhist scripture in the traditional sense.
Scriptures are texts that are the words of the Buddha or other enlightened beings & they are considered to be the ultimate source of Buddhist teachings.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead is considered to be terma, or a hidden treasure.
Termas are believed to contain teachings that are specifically suited for the Tibetan cultural context.

One of my favorite lines from the Tibetan Book of the Dead: “Abandon your notions of the past, without attributing a temporal sequence! Cut off your mental associations regarding the future, without anticipation! Rest in a spacious modality, without clinging to the present."
In other words, be here now.
@@OfficialGOD developing your attention through meditation will help with the being here now.
Attention to be differentiated from concentration.
We can be here and still experience the world through accumulated memory or past conditioning , so just being here now wont cut it.
@@yodaspank618 there is no "still experience", you are projecting your experience. There are levels to be here now.
@@OfficialGOD if you say so 🙏

Same teaching from The Buddha; When one is depressed he is living in the past, when one is anxious he is obsessed of the future but when one is happy he is living in the present moment today and now! K
The Buddha didn’t say that
That's why usually Tibetans said "never cry when your loved one passed away. Because let him or her soul to search new form somewhere in universe" 🙏🏻😔❤️
A wise man cries not for the living nor the dead.

“Row, Row, Row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, Merrily,Merrily,Merrily
Life is but a dream “
No joke. In my "pre-time" when I was forming my memories in this life I vividly remember being rowed down a river made of pure energy by a form of pure energy in a boat of pure energy mostly made of reds and oranges. This was before I even knew what a river or a boat was.
I've always loved this nursery rhyme
This makes me think of a True Detective scene. I know it's a show, but it's stuck with me.
"To realize that...in all your life. All your love, all your hate, all your memory, all your pain it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream; a dream that you had inside a locked room. A dream about being...a person."
@@BallBatteryReligionI don’t think Rust was referencing Buddhism or the Tibetan book of the dead
@@Pluralofvinylisvinyls no. Not directly. The themes are just there, and it reminded me of it.
I had 2 NEDs from anaphylaxis and I miss the other side. I became one with all creation and an awake in life as this is the dream
The bardo of life does have a sub-bardo. It’s the bardo of dreams. Dream yoga is the process of using the dream states to train for the bardo of death, by learning to manage your consciousness while in other states apart from wakefulness.
I have always feared death as nobody seems to know about it. No other religous path would tell you this but here they explained every step of the way from your last breath to the next. May all of beings benefit and learn there is nothing to fear.
«In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then?
Art thou Elias?
And he saith, I am not.
Art thou that prophet?
And he answered, No.
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?
They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
He saith unto them, Come and see.
They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
And he brought him to Jesus.
And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water.
And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
And they bare it.
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.»
(The Gospel of Jesus Christ - John - Chapter: 1...
Jesus Christ is god. The way the truth and the life.
@@michaelmccarthy2369I disagree
@@Jakub-kw1rxVery well, but what does this say about the death and rebirth process of ordinary humans? Do you have any esoteric keys of interpretation to offer for that Gnostic Christian book of the Gospel according to John? As an exoteric, literal story, it is as absurd as the Tibetan book of the Dead. That is, mostly but not completely absurd. As esoteric, symbolic, mythical stories however, both of these books are profoundly wise with very little absurdity inside of them.
@@michaelmccarthy2369Not in the literal sense, but perhaps in a mythical sense..

This video made me realise I’ve moved through the Bardo’s multiple times during my life so far but to what degree i still dont know. Mostly through deep meditation and a few times during psychedelic experiences. Non of the events were sought after, they happened spontaneously in relation to where i was on my path at the time. BUT the one thing that all of those events had in common: I was in a period of consciously wanting to genuinely heal or self improve in some way. It’s really interesting to learn more about the Tibetan book of the dead and how it correlates with some of my own personal experiences!
The Tibetan book of the death can also be a guide to how to live a meaningful life too, so that when once final day on this earth comes, one is prepared to say good bye…
I think this is the goal of having the book in written form. For the living to appreciate life processes. You are correct. Agree.
There were volumes of Originsl holy Text / commentaries protected and preserved in Tibets Monasteries....
Although many were destroyed by Invaders in Tibet and in India by Outside evil Forces but they never won to erase everything completely..
Ultimate Wisdoms and Truths always triumphs 🙏
And today it's coming out and going world wide ..
Namo Buddha 🙏
Namo all holy Masters of past and holy spirits 🙏🙏🙏
When I was a young boy, I was pushed off a wall by a playmate. A dust bin broke my fall and I found myself outside my body. I saw my playmate lying to his parents and how the colours of his aura became dull. I saw my father carry my unconscious body back home. Before I woke I know I did not want to return to my body because I had found a level of complete happiness, light and love.
Remember when you despise death you despise life...both are different parts of the same thing

I wrote a paper in college about this text and the meaning of the sky burial. One of the few papers I got an A+ on 😅
It is because the prof was not proficient in that tibetan tradition..
I had A+ in World religion class in college, the professor was shocked I came to take the final exam, which he stated that I didnt have to take the exam n still he would give an A+. Then right before the exam, he declared in front of the class that it was such an honor to have me in his class.
Go figure. Then my older sister that had acquired the meditative jhana levels, looked into my previous life, it turned out I was a Catholic Nun living in a convent since childhood, being exposed to religious books esp the bible.
No wonder I had an affinity towards any religious vid contents, subjects n its application in my present life.
I realized when looking back, why I got A+ so effortlessly in World Religion Class.
The Bardos is a unique esoteric knowledge that the majority of Mahayana traditions would not or rather unwilling to expound to laity believers.
I agree with this approach personally. Thus, I prefer Pure Land Tradition mix with Zen Buddhism approach.
@@peacebe2u480 Interesting! Can you please name a source or a link, teaching that "meditative jihana" which you mentioned in your comment?
Either way we all gonna end up in dust or infest by worms
The fact that you used Tom & Jerry footage to illustrate such spiritual and complex ideas shows how influential that cartoon is!
That’s because Tom and Jerry were actually the same being in different forms, working off their karmic debt.
Thank you for making this video. I think this book will make for very useful and much simpler reading for those wishing to become knowledgeable of their true selves. It will help people tread on the right path instead of losing themselves in delusion. I also feel very sad when yet again being reminded that all the Indian texts that served as the basis for this knowledge were utterly and completely destroyed by Islamic invaders when they burnt down all the 23 ancient Indian mega universities. Thanks to Tibet, a fraction of this knowledge still exists. Thanks so much, again.
I once asked a Tibetan doctor that where did the knowledge of those medicines came from? And he said "Nalanda". Its true. If these univesities wouldnt have burnt we would have so much. We lost everything and we still keep losing our women to them. Its just a matter of time. India is making the same mistake again and women wont be safe.
Anything came out or rather crawled out from the deepest recess of hellish hira cave is destruction of mindscapes.
We are extremely blessed by Our Most Precious Guru Padmasambhava( Guru Rinpoche in Tibetan) who brought Buddhism to Tibet..... around 8-9th Centuries. We considered him our Second Buddha. He wrote the Tibetan book of Death. Since then, many of our Scholars and Masters went to India for studying Buddhism......were translated in Tibetan.....thats why Tibetan Buddhism perserved much of ancient Nalanda teachings. 🙏🪷☸️🕉️
That's awful = I wondered what had happened to the Indian version. Yes much of the wisdom went to Tibet and was preserved by the gurus and monks there thankfully.
Yes, absolutely. I have learnt this Indian history Mohammad Ghori, Mohammad Ghazni , Mugul Empire destroyed all temples killed worshippers
Makes me remember when Krishna said - Nainam chhindanti shastrani, Nainam dahti pavaka ... 🕉️🙏
Thank you for posting this precious teaching.
" Bardo is a simple method but with great significance. Only people who have meditated a little bit in their lives can be benefited by it, and Tibet was one of the countries where almost everybody was devoting some time to meditation -- just to be alone, silent, not doing anything, just witnessing. If such a person does not achieve enlightenment in his life, and death intervenes, then bardo is used.
Such a man has achieved a certain opening of the door. He has not entered in, but he has at least tried; he has knocked on the door. He has a certain receptivity, and at the time of death he is absolutely willing to go into a state of meditation. Now there is nothing to be afraid of. Death has already come; he can risk everything. And bardo is a certain soft method of hypnosis... just the way I am using it. Listening to me you become quiet, silent.
The bardo is suggestions to the dying person: "Now be silent. Leave this life consciously. Rather than death taking it away from you, relax your hold; don't be defeated by death, don't struggle. Just drop all your attachment. This world is finished for you, and this life is finished for you. There is no point in holding on to it; in holding on to it you will be fighting with death. You cannot win, and a very significant possibility will be missed.
"Simply let go of everything on your own accord. Relax, and accept death without any antagonism as a culmination of life, as a natural phenomenon. It ends nothing. Remain conscious and watch what is happening -- how the body starts becoming more and more distant from you, how the mind starts falling into pieces as if a mirror has fallen and broken into pieces, how your emotions, sentiments, moods... everything that made your life starts disappearing."
It is the end of a dream. That is the fundamental point in bardo, that you have lived a dream that you call life, a seventy-year-long dream. It is coming to an end. You can weep for the spilled milk and miss the opportunity... because within seconds you will be entering into another womb, into another dream.
Between these two dreams just a few seconds are available for you to be alert and awake, and if you can manage this alertness you have conquered death, you have conquered dreaming. You will be entering into another womb consciously; you will be leaving this body consciously, entering into another body consciously.
You will be able to remember the death, the dream you had lived, in the coming life, which will make you alert not to get into the same rut -- again chasing the same stupid desires, getting caught in the same jealousies, fighting for the same meaningless respectabilities. It will keep you alert that you have done it before. Everything ends in death and this too will end in death.
So bardo is reminding you that what is disappearing was a dream. It is very easy when death is coming to see your life as a dream. What else can it be? It is just as if you are waking up in the morning. The whole night you have lived so much, so many dreams -- you may have lived years in the night -- but bardo reminds you that it was a dream. It has to be done by a very evolved being -- a lama, a master -- and he insists that it is time to realize that it was a dream: you are not dying, only the dream is broken.
And while you are being shifted from one dream to another... the gap is of tremendous importance because in that gap there is no dream, there is simple clarity, absolute clarity, awareness. So the second point to be reminded of is: don't miss the gap.
And the third thing: don't miss the entry into the womb. Then you have accomplished something which people need lives to work on.
The person is just falling into deep silence and death is descending. He is listening to these words from someone he has loved, he has trusted, from someone he cannot imagine deceiving -- only then is it meaningful. It won't work from just anybody. The bardo is available, all the instructions are available, but it is possible only through someone whom you have respected, honored, trusted, loved.
In this critical moment a small doubt about what the person is saying will destroy the whole thing -- then the bardo has been futile. But if you don't miss and you follow the instructions, you are laying a foundation for a new life which will be a totally different life. It will be your last life, because anybody who is dying consciously, who uses the gap to have a taste of absolute purity, enters into the womb alert, is born alert. His enlightenment is guaranteed by nature: he has the seed, the foundation.
So bardo is a simple process, but it can be helpful only to those who have meditated a little, who have been with a master, who have once in a while tasted the silence, the presence, and the beauty of being in the moment. They become capable. Bardo is the greatest contribution Tibet has made to the world. Tibet has not contributed anything else. It is a poor country, far away from the world -- the roof of the world -- unapproachable. Even today it is very difficult to reach Tibet.
Tibet developed meditation through Buddhist influence and finally became the only country in history where everybody was meditating, where meditation was a normal phenomenon. Every family had to give at least one of its members -- someone who was ready -- to a monastery, to meditate totally. So from every family at least one member went from each generation.
Almost the whole country of Tibet became a monastery. Just as Russia has become a concentration camp, Tibet became a monastery. There were hundreds of monasteries in the mountains, in beautiful places. Every family had contributed someone who was truly interested in seeking. It was the only place where people were encouraged to go on the search; it had become part of the style of the whole country.
And those who were not in the monasteries were also meditating as much as they could manage, so by the time of death, bardo was possible for everybody. There were many masters available, many evolved beings available who could repeat those instructions -- and everybody had a master of his own. It was a totally different world.
In this century many beautiful things have been destroyed but Tibet is at the top. Tibet has been destroyed by a communist invasion from China. Monasteries have been changed into schools, into hospitals, and monks have been forced to work in the fields. Even to mention the word "meditation" became a crime. And it was not hurting anybody: the country was so aloof, so cut off from the world.
But it has been destroyed, and I don't think there is any possibility to recover its beauty, its grandeur. That is impossible because now there are roads joining it to Pakistan, to China. Now buses are moving, now airports are there and planes are coming and going. The army is there. It has become a military base for China. It has lost its golden age.
Soon it will be difficult to find a person who is capable of listening to bardo instructions and almost impossible to find a person who can give those instructions. They will be in the books; they are available now in all the languages. They are simple instructions but they can be improved, and I have the idea to improve them because they are very ancient and very crude. They can be polished. Much can be added to them, more dimensions can be given to them. But the basic thing is that the people should be meditative. My people are meditative, and it will be part of our basic work to revive the bardo in a more refined form so we can use it for our people.
Tibet is no longer the same Tibet. But we can create the situation, the psychology, where bardo -- or something like bardo but even far more evolved -- can help people. It is a beautiful process. Just as Japan has brought Zen from Buddhist sources of meditation, Tibet has brought, from the same Buddhist sources of meditation, bardo. These are their immortal contributions.
When nuclear weapons are forgotten, still these discoveries will have the same significance."
Very well said ! ❤

Great summary - thank you!
Be good and humble, and at the end of life, there is no regret.
LSD is like an emergency drug you can take to remember all the lessons you've learned from the previous life. During my LSD trip I realized I am infinite, I saw the toroidal fields around my heart, my body, I remembered who I really was, I remembered the formation of Language, how everything was a manifestation of the mind, and you are responsible for everything, that you attract what you think of. But most importantly love, love one another, love all beings for they are also you. After that I researched about Kundalini to maintain my awareness and the ego who was I thought I was in the previous years is long gone. The key is always for the middle ground, enjoy life, love life and spread wisdom to all that is unaware that is how the buddha would have done it.
Such a gem of a channel ..I have experienced ego death ...quite the experience not fun or cool nothing just nothingness...quiet .

Teaching on the Bardo
by H.E. Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche
PART ONE
One can be liberated by looking, hearing, and reading without needing to practice meditation.
According to the profound oral instructions, this is the teaching for liberating those who have
committed non-virtue.
These profound and vast oral instructions which guide one on the secret path
are the supreme path that is useful in both this and future lives.
Thus, the wise should train in the teachings of the bardo.
They can be realized without difficulty for one with correct knowledge.
Importantly, now while you have the ability to do so,
you should strive to practice at all times for the sake of this life and the next.
While making effort with belief in the practice,
apply your body, speech, and mind to this teaching on the bardo.
According to Jetsun Milarepa there are six bardos:
(1) the bardo in between samṣāra and nirvāṇa,
(2) the natural bardo of the path,
(3) the bardo in between birth and death,
(4) the bardo of dreaming and sleeping,
(5) the bardo of existence, and
(6) the bardo of the next life.
Even though there are many subdivisions of the bardo,
according to Milarepa, it is in the bardo in between samṣāra and nirvāṇa
that the reality of mahāmudrā is pointed out
and the perfect view is correctly determined.
During the natural bardo of the path,
it is important for those who have embarked on the path to meditate
on the oral instructions of the whispered lineage in order to realize the face of innate wisdom.
Within the appearances of the bardo in between birth and death
you should strive at the two paths of the creation and completion stages
in order to advance in your conduct and radiant capacity of awareness.
While in the bardo of dreaming and sleeping,
since sleep is mainly based on your habitual tendencies,
train primarily in luminosity and the illusory body
in order to make use of these habitual tendencies on the path.
Finally, in the bardo of existence, you should take the three kāyas into the path
and travel to the three pure lands.
If you don’t realize them in this life,
then with pure aspirations,
make a connection in the bardo of the next life.
According to The General Meaning of Mantra,
all phenomena of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa are without nature, and yet they appear otherwise.
That is the coarse nature of illusion.
This is the general meaning of the illusory body.
The illusory body is exemplified by a dream, an echo, and a rainbow.
According to many gurus, the actual illusory body is when,
due to the extraordinary practice of the winds dissolving into the heart,
the wind and mind arise from emptiness in the pure form of the deity;
the approximate illusory body is when, due to just the ordinary practice of the channels and winds,
the winds dissolve into the heart and the wind and mind arise from emptiness in the pure form of the deity.
The luminosity of the fourth emptiness due to the winds dissolving into the central channel,
or the recognition on the basis of the experience of the fourth co-emergent joy,
is the hidden luminosity.
More over, example luminosity is the co-emergent joy or fourth emptiness together
with the dualistic appearance of subject and object.
The actual luminosity is the co-emergent joy or emptiness without subject-object dualism.
Teaching on the Bardo
by : H.E. Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche
PART TWO
Pointing out that all dream-like, illusion-like phenomena are appearances
is the dharma which overturns grasping at the true existence.
Similarly, for the purpose of pointing out all appearances as the appearances of the bardo,
the previous gurus explained the three bardo of birth and death, the bardo of dreams, and the bardo of existence.
According to the Compendium of Abhidharma,
the moment of death is the very same moment
that the bardo of existence begins.
The period from death until rebirth is called the "bardo of existence."
According to the system of highest yoga tantra,
our physical body is always produced together with our subtle body of wind and mind.
Thus, it is appropriate to accept that in the bardo of existence,
there is a very subtle body.
What kind of physical body does one have in the bardo of existence?
According to the Treasury of Abhidharma,
beings in the bardo have a body like that of their previous existence.
At that time, it is previous with reference to the next existence.
It is not previous with reference to the bardo.
Thus, wherever you will be born next, you become connected with that kind of body.
According to the higher tradition of Abhidharma as well,
Wherever you will be born next, you take the form of that kind of body.
Generally, based on the next life, in the bardo prior to that,
one will take the form of that kind of body.
According to Jetsün Marpa's Scroll on the Bardo, for three and a half days,
one will take the form of the previous life, and for three and a half days,
one will take the form of the next life.
How is it that these two systems are not contradictory?
According to Pertinent Quotations on the Six Dharmas by the all-seeing, Shamarpa,
the actual body of a being in the bardo of existence will be like the body that they will have in their next rebirth.
Nevertheless, since what appears to the mind of bardo beings is like a dream,
due to strong habitual tendencies connected with the previous life,
they may see themselves in their previous form.
Thus, these two systems are not contradictory.
One with divine vision can see the bardo body as it actually is,
while a siddha who has approximate divine vision
sees the bardo body according to their karmic imprints.
According to the Prophesy on Transmigration Sūtra,
it is said that when a person is about to die, a spirit enters their mind.
At the time of someone's death,
the spirit, etc., who is born with them
will take on their form and appear to their relatives and friends
and give prophesies, causing confusion about karmic cause and effect.
In general, some in the bardo of existence can see
with the divine eye as a result of prior practice,
which was not acquired due to birth.
The knowledge of when one will die and where one will transmigrate
is approximate to the power of the Buddha,
and also occurs in śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, and bodhisattvas.
How subtle is the body of a being in the bardo of existence?
A body in the form realm is very pure,
and the body of a being in the bardo of existence from that realm is even subtler.
By comparison, the gods in the desire realm are more gross,
and the body of a being in the bardo of existence from that realm is even grosser.
The inner meaning is that there is no material body,
but only a mental body that is established.
A bardo being is able to travel wherever they think, without being obstructed by earth, stones, etc.
They have miraculous powers due to past karma.
As for what substances a bardo body consumes,
it is generally said that they consume odors,
but they may also consume flavors, etc.
As was clearly stated by Yanggön Chenpo,
first, riding on the wind,
due to the dependent arising of the five poisons,
the five colors appear.
When wandering about in all directions,
the five-colored light will appear as a path.
Whichever light one follows determines one's rebirth.
If you follow white light, you will be reborn as a god, red as a demigod,
blue as human, yellow as a hungry ghost, green as an animal,
and smoke-colored as a hell being.
Wherever you go, the pure light will appear as a path.
All appearances will become the color of that light.
The mental body too takes on that color.
According to what has been passed down in the lineage of oral instructions
of earlier masters who have seen the true nature of the body and mind,
and beheld the bardo of existence,
in the bardo of existence, consciousness rides on the winds.
The wind is inclusive of the five pure elements.
Consciousness has pure and impure parts.
The impure part includes the five poisons and the pure part includes the seeds of the five wisdoms,
the five purities of the wind and the five stained wisdoms.
There is self-radiance due to the interdependence of the clarity aspect and the mental appearances.
The path of light appears as the five paths of pure light,
and appearances arise from the radiant aspect.
Thus, these are called the five purities or complete purities.
At the beginning, the light dawns as the equality of all five.
Then, that which arises from the manner of their mixing is,
for example, pure white light if one will be reborn as a god.
As that becomes more intense,
that dawns as the white light of the path,
and ultimately all bodies and appearances dawn as white light.
The luminosity of the result is explained as the luminosity of the union of no more learning.
@@darkangel0173 You mean on my channel?
"Let your mind be as the clear and cloudless sky." It's fascinating that there's reoccurring references to seeing "The Clear Light "..more than a little similar to NDE stories.🕯️
Tom representing the consciousness or the mind /soul made me so happy
Beautifully done
Clear and precise explanation, great video!
I WANT TO WATCH EVERY ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS THANK GOD FOR YOU. I’m not kidding this is potent
Pema Chodron has a whole course on preparation for understanding death. She has done the work of shaping her to hold the wisdom
Beautiful summary - beautiful voice 🙏
Thanks for this video 💐🙏🏻
In an era of psychedelics and spiritual revolution this book could become especially relevant but in new ways. There are many reasons why one might want to understand how to better handle death aside from when they are physically dead. You can die in your dream, during meditation, during an NDE and while taking certain plant medicines or hallucigenics.
This video is the 1st time hearing a summary of this book.. and so many times during this video i was saying "this is all so familiar". Having guidance like this is a really good idea for those who are looking to explore through meditation or other means
lmao!!

Bible is the book of books.
I also read Jean Paul Sartres Being and nothingness, and said to a very clever friend that there seemed to be similarities between Existentialism and Tibetan Buddhism and also what a grim and heavy going book Sartre's is. They told me he read the Tibetan Book of the Dead in a pow camp in France in Ww2 and was greatly influenced by it. Awen!

Helping others means helping oneself.
She's completely on point with the NDE. Mine was at 8 years old, & for many years I didn't understand why so many others appeared almost "blind" (?).
It wasn't until I met others who experienced NDE, did I begin to understand on its effect for the rest of this life.
Had my NDE,a few hours after my birth, have kept the Heavenly Realms connection and have my Clairs and telepathy as had there,✨🫶💫💌💜🤍 Kindness and Empathy matters .
Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean by "others", being "blind"?🤔
Love this content. Nice one.
Fantastic taster! What a world... So much to do to be give & receive! Action energy adventure 🙏
Excellent narration and wisdom.
I feel so attracted to this the word "Tibetan"
Keeps on popping up in my thought and then I searched for..and found this
Do watch .... Searching for Lotus-Born Master ( Guru Padmasambhava, in Tibetan... Guru Rinpoche) by shambhala studio..... and Masters of Buddhism channel...... about enlightened beings. I've learned alot from these 2 channel.
This literature is to be taken seriously and a rare description guide of souls travel immediately after "death" I believe it's factual
Thank you this was an excellent overview of the book. I saw Jacobs Ladder in the 90's and was deeply moved by it but had no idea at the time it was influenced by The Tibetan Book of the Dead. My yoga practice dovetails nicely with some of the philosophy in the book - like eliminating strong likes and dislikes in my life. I can see the value of this in the life that awaits me after death. Please do more of this type of thing 🙏
So much appreciated, thank you
For a better understanding, Andrew Holecek teaches this book of the dead.
He does so in a clear way with good understanding of the culture as it is now
Thanks ill look for it .
He has great teachings on RUclips
I read this book before, thank you for giving me more understanding about it.
❤ wow never heard of this book before! Very interesting. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you so much for adding NDE's into this topic, I have been studying Buddhist teachings for half of my life, and the only thing on Earth that can ever "explain" / verbalize what I went through during my most impactful NDE (out of 4) is Buddhism.
No one will ever "understand",
just Buddhism.
Such an amazing video, we are very blessed that you made it and shared it with us, namaste'. It made me look at the teachings of Buddhism in a different light, a more detailed light, thank you again for that. Many blessings to everyone who had a part in the making and posting of this.
Namaste just means hello. You're making people cringe when you use it in this manner. I'm just telling you for your own benefit, there's literally articles out about it..🙂
Blessed by who??? Buddha isn’t a god but a man who ran from Hinduism, he can’t bless anyone.
@@muzisensei3493 Your reply is very telling. He stated that the blessing was his own, my friend. "There is no God but my God", you're one of those people yes? Or "Gods" for Hindu folks. You're looking in a mirror and arguing with yourself. Do you understand? Everyone, all beings that worship a God are worshipping the same thing. Your semantics mean absolutely nothing. Source. The source of all life that created all. Everything. You, just like Christians and Hindi and Islamists and Jews, you are all one, separated by ego, which is evil on every level. Be still, and know your Gods. That is all that is required.

Thank you for posting. I'm a hospice nurse and so intrigued by death and dying! So many life lessons you can learn witnessing death. NDEs are interesting but so is "near death awareness". Witnessing this is what has led me to "find God". How can people know they're going to die soon? 🤔 🤯

The first time I heard about the Book of the Dead was when I saw the film "Enter the Void" by Gaspar Noé. A really extraordinary film that influenced me a lot at the time. In the film, the drug DMT also appears. It is said that many users report a so-called ego death. Thank you.
I seen that film also,and it too influenced me at the time
Same here
same here. another good one influenced by the book is jacob’s ladder
You do realize ego is just some nonsense made up by the discredited Freud? Ego death has already occurred, dealt by the psychologists themselves.
«In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then?
Art thou Elias?
And he saith, I am not.
Art thou that prophet?
And he answered, No.
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?
They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
He saith unto them, Come and see.
They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
And he brought him to Jesus.
And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water.
And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
And they bare it.
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.»

As I lay and wait for death as there is not much else I can do now. I free myself of the past and for the most part, remain present. The past is but a memory and the future, an idea. All of life seems to be a dream. I become lucid more and more by realizing that I am still asleep.

A couple corrections: The dalai lamas have never been leaders of Tibetan Buddhism, but rather temporal and spiritual leaders of a nation. Tibetan Buddhism does not have a pope-like leader; it comprises numerous lineages, schools, and heads of each. “Termas” are revealed treasures of scripture, but still scripture.
you're right.
Correction for the correction. His Majesty Dalai Lama is the feudal King of Tibet, as such His Majesty is the owner of all land, property and people of Tibet.
And as the King His Majesty is a Head and Leader of Everything in Tibet, that includes all monastaries, Buddhist schools, shelters, even caves. And all other Lamas subordinate to His Majesty.
Dalai Lama is also head of Gelug Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism which is as you correctly mentioned is just one of the many in Tibet.
@@VittoShulman Before the Dalai Lamas there were the Sakyapas, Before Sakyas there were the Karmapas and before that there were the great kings of Tibet. So, what is all that feudal and majesty business that you're talking about which is foreign to us Tibetans.
@@tashidelek5793 So what are you trying to say? Can you clearify your thought?
The fact is Dalai Lama is the King of Tibet since at least 17th century Dalai Lama back in 17th century conspired with Monghol Khan - Altyn to overthrough the ruling dynasty in Tibet and since that time Tibet was ruled by Dalai Lamas as feudal kings. In fact one of the Dalai Lamas was the son of Monghol Khan. Tibet under Lamas rule was a feudal kingdom with strict caste system where cerfs had no rights and everything belonged to royalty. By law everything in Tibet all land, property and even people belong to His Majesty. And that feudal system continued to 1950s until Chinese said enough is enough and threw the king and his retinue out.
These are facts which many Tibetan desedents don't like to admit.
Dalai Lama is a feudal king of Tibet.

They committed many atrocities in Tibet. I see you have an agenda. Hmm..... 🤔
This reminds me of the teachings of Ramana Maharishi concerning conciousness and the mind. He hardly ever spoke about the afterlife, he always stated that we do not yet know our present state, why are we bothering events to come.
Agree with that approach. A wise guru.
Thank you as always… The wonderful karma been built is great for everyone… I also hope that you can make videos for how to prevent attack and influence from negative occult powers in the future… I notice that there are a lot more occult substances floating around in public discourse of recent years.
Your GOOD DEEDS should be your shield. Purify your mind, speech n action.
Forget about amulets. Dont go there.
Very impressive videos dude
Once one realizes the illusory nature of the ego, how can you continue to enjoy participating in life as it is?
That's when true enjoyment starts. Living detached yet engaged in work. Stillness in action and action in stillness.
Good question. but why do you believe that the ego is an illusion? (please look at my other comment)
that is where compassion and kindess comes to fill the void that is why compassion is foundation of buddhist philosophy i guess this helps
Once you realize, there is no "you", without ego you are selfless, so this question won't come, it is coming from the ego.
Well look at a child, no ego and still enjoying. That's about it. Just play.
Not to contradict but I think Dark Side of the Moon was more about Syd Barrets mental breakdown . As for the Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows you are spot on.
All in all, this is a very well done piece about the book. Thank you.
I don't think tomorrow never knows was ever released as a single. Tim Leary and Richard Alperts The Psychedelic Experience, is a manual for self exploration based on the Tibetan book of the dead
thank you asangoham.
I personally have known 2 ppl who experienced NDEs, both resuscitated & brought back after experiencing separate car accidents.
1 found himself standing on a sidewalk with a bunch of other ppl in a city looking at a mangled car thinking how terrible that accident must of been & hoping the ppl inside were alright. He had zero memory or connection with the accident that just occurred. Then he started to hear a siren & next thing he knew he was coming to inside the ambulance.
The other was in a fatal accident where multiple ppl in the vehicle died. She found herself looking at a warm loving light & started moving to it. Her dad (who died years earlier) walked out from the direction of the light & stopped her. He told her that he understood she wanted to enter but that it wasn't time & she must go back. She regained consciousness inside the ICU.
I have experienced a number of things which leads me to believe there is some form of continuance that occurs post physical death. Concepts like The Book of the Dead & experiences like NDEs are interesting & may provide a little insight but in reality while we are anchored in physicality we truly can not understand what occurs till our own time arrives.
Meet the moment with love & joy & know you are free. 🙏🏼
Note: they came back…??? Next
Thank you for sharing this 🙏😌
You summarised the whole book really well.. I remember reading it about 10years ago it terrified me lol

More informative than NDE are the accounts of “delogs,” who died, but return to life after a few days or even almost two weeks. Their experiences are much more revealing. See Tulku Thondup’s “Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth.”

The mind is where the 'I' is.
When the mind slows down into samadhi, the 'I' dissolves, realizing that it was just a dream
But the mind is not the “I” it only tells you that it is…. The illusion within the dream of life…..
And "I" in latin is ego, which is attached to the physical body.
@@chosen_ones777 that depends on your perception. There is an “I” to be found that transcends all physical matter, the mind and emotions. But i agree, it is very dangerous to give it any name 🙏🏼 Pure consciousness is the only way that i can point to…
@@justinzwaan6704 No, it has nothing to do with perception.

This is sooooo weird cuz last night I had a strange dream that I was in 3 places at once and upon awakening for a split second I knew how that could be possible but then as soon as my mind started to think about how that was possible I lost it and was just left with the feeling that I did know….
Lol this happens so much to myself. Just this week I dremt I was flying so I'm in the air flying high no one around me yet I felt a hand touched me on the right back top shoulder? I was surprised I was flying but I was more surprised at the touch
I do recognize this! Sometimes I may experience I can really understand and grasp it all, but as soon as I start to think about that it gets out of my grasp and I'm left with a sense of "daaamn, I nearly had and knew it all"
How to put that empirical thought proces off for a longer time I'm still learning. If that makes sense?
