Dzogchen: Bardo By: Keith Dowman

Author: Keith Dowman

Dzogchen Bardo looks at the four Bardo Thodol bardos from the point of Dzogchen realization, from the heart of mind. The Natural Bardo is the place where we understand samsara as nirvana and transmit that knowledge to the world. The Bardo of Dying is the process of transcending samsara. The Bardo of Reality is nondual experience of the totality while the Bardo of Becoming is a return to earth with our minds still in a pure-land. This Dzogchen interpretation, based in ancient and modern terton-master’s revelation of bardo provides a map but it is best enjoyed as a poetic effusion of nonmeditation experience.
