PADMASAMBHAVA:BARDO THODOL-MAIN VERSES OF SIX BARDOS by Padmasambhava according to terton Karma Lingpa is 33.VISUAL DHARMA published to benefit all beings. To EMBED&SPONSOR preparation of Visual Dharmas means to perform 1.enlightened Activity as taught by the Buddhas.All Visual Dharmas are empowered with Natural Sound of Dharmata (Tib. Chönyid kyi rangdra) and must be treated with respect-they contain sacred instructions & symbols. Visual Dharma is creative integration of Buddhist teachings into lives of contemporary people.The author of important cycle of Bardo teachings is Padmasambhava-the origin of these sacred teachings is Dharmakaya Buddha Samantabhadra. In 14th century terton Karma Lingpa discovered this earth tresure (Tib. sater) at Gampo hill in central Tibet. Since than Bardo teachings are practiced widely esp. in Nyingma & Kagyu Vajrayana schools of Buddhism. MAIN VERSES OF SIX BARDOS were first publihed as Visual Dharma in DVD LIGHT MANDALAS by ven.Mangala Konchok Norbu in 2006 (ISBN 961-91189-1-X). This Visual Dharma presents progressed work from 2006 with new scientific research.In Kagyu school we find later clasification of only 4 Bardos.There is precise reason why Guru Rinpoche taught about 6 Bardos: there are 6 realms of samsara,6 Vajra spaces of Samantabhadra`s symbol and there are 6 Bardos. The Verses are reminder for everyone to WAKE UP.To „switch" to the awakened state without ignorance(tib.marigpa) we need FAITH.We must sincerely beleive-as it is-that Padmasambhava,the Lotus-born Guru is speaking these Verses directly to everyone,directly to you.To have such recognition is transmission-the recognition of holy Dharma.As it is said:So why not practice Dharma at this very moment? How to practice the Dharma at this very moment we teach in the Visual Dharma for 2008.Every sentient being is involved in 6 Bardo states.They are individual cyclic existence.In the Bardo of birth & life (Tib. kyene bardo) it is most important for everyone to study,reflect & meditate according to holy Dharma & to realise 3 dimensions :Dharmakaya (Tib.Choku),Sambhogakaya (Longku),Nirmanakaya (Tulku). In the Bardo of dreams (Tib. milam bardo) advanced Buddhist practitioner can receive many profound Teachings.One must awaken from dream-like state of careless ignorance and practice rigpa-wisdom awareness.In Atiyoga essence lineage of self-arisen Sound of Dharmata we practice in such way to accomplish Rigpa luminous shunyata.Many advanced Atiyoga masters of the past including Ayu Khandro (1839-1952) accomplished the Rainbow Body by practicing in such authentic way. In Bardo of samadhi meditation one must abandon crowd of distractions by listening unimpeded continuity of the Natural Sound of Dharmata and rest in the boundless state of Samantabhadra Buddha. When the Bardo of the moment before death (Tib.Chikai bardo) approaches one enters again,but more deeply into clear awareness of the Teachings by returning/reconnecting with Natural Sound of Dharmata knowing that Penetration of Sound is the base of all Buddha´s Teachings: Dharmakaya-Samantabhadra.One´s skandha of consciousness becomes liberated in an instant like Garuda bird flying free in the sky at the moment after the egg shell is broken.The space outside the vase is the same as the space inside the vase.One realises this completely when there is NO MORE A WALL. The end of a wall is the END OF DUALISM.If one does´t have complete Dharmakaya realisation at the moment of death, the Bardo of Dharmata appears.This is 2.chance for liberation-Sambhogakaya realisation of peaceful & wrathful deities.They appear as the natural luminosity of Dharmakaya.If one does´t practice the correct View - the Base in this very life of kyene bardo,is not liberated into Dharmakaya at the moment of death or in the Bardo of Dharmata,one is again in the bardo of becoming.But even at this stage there is chance for liberation as described in the Verses. Someone who is not practicing the holy Dharma in a correct way there is very little chance to be liberated from samsara.Someone who eats meat is very often reborn as animal being killed for food.For this precise reason:not to be reborn in lower reams (animals,hungry ghosts,beings of hell) Lord Buddha taught that the first ethical rule is not to kill & not to eat meat! In Kunsang Gongpa Zhangtal we DEDICATE:May all sentient beings without exception realise the nature of unexpressible base.OTHER PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS are published in descriptions of 32 Visual Dharmas.

Dzongsar Ngari Tulku, an important tulku from Dzongsar Monastery, passed away on 19 May 2008 following a tragic accident in Germany. Here is an extract from an interview Rigpa students conducted with him several years ago.

Please enjoy part two of a short video which captures part of the historic events that occurred when His Holiness the Dalai Lama blessed the Tenzin Gyatso Institute in October, 2007. Offered to you in honor of Sogyal Rinpoche's wish to serve His Holiness, by the Tenzin Gyatso Institute.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live... and die like Jacqui Connolly. Jacqui, who had motor neurone disease, came to stay at Dzogchen Beara twice with her partner and daughter. Sit back in a quiet place, perhaps with a pack of tissues, and watch this video piece that celebrates an extraordinary woman. Jacqui died in 2002.

Wouldn't it be great if all speeches... were as moving as this one by the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese. Wouldn't it be great if we could all find in ourselves such profound humour while being able to discuss so openly the subject most of us prefer not to mention - 'Death'. Wouldn't it be great if her visionary aims came to fruition soon. For more information on the Spiritual Care Programme go to http://www.spiritualcare.ie
