This course looks in detail at the Tibetan Book of the Dead: The Great Liberation through Hearing in the Bardo (bardo todol) by Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) according to Kharma Lingpa, translated with commentary by Francesca Fremantle and Chogyam Trungpa. The course will also look at a variety of other related practices and texts dealing with death and dying. Although this is an "advanced" course, there are no prerequisites and anyone with interest is welcome to participate. Nevertheless, some background in Tibetan Buddhism and its practices is highly recommended. For example, please see our Essentials of Tibetan Buddhism series of 8 courses.

We are now pleased to be able to offer this course for FREE to the general public, though we do appreciate your donations to enable us to continue making this and potentially other courses available for free as well. You may make donations at any time through our website AwamInstitute.org. Thank you for your consideration and generosity. ...Khenpo Drimed Dawa
