Program Details
‘The Bardo Thodrol’ was composed in the 8th century by Padmasambhava, written down and buried by Yeshe Tsogyal, and discovered by Karma Lingpa. Additionally, it is important to know that the Bardo Thodrol stems from the Inner Tantra of Mahayoga. As such, it is an indispensable complement to the Guhyagarbha Tantra, which is being taught by Lhöppon Rechungpa Rinpoche in Mipham Shedra’s current class.
Most importantly, this retreat will be vital to your understanding of how to make your own death and dying a path to enlightenment.
