​In Tibet, Lama Lakshey Rinpoche trained to understand and recite the ‘Bardo Thodol’ as he helped to guide those in the dying process for ten years before coming to the West. This profound scripture was composed by the great 8th century tantric master, Guru Rinpoche [Padmasambhava]. During this rare TLC event, Rinpoche will offer his knowledge and experience with this sacred text to educate us about providing such support for others. The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol) is a Tibetan Buddhist terma text designed to lead the deceased through the "bardo," or intermediate state between death and rebirth. Reading specific parts of this to those who are dying or have recently died helps them navigate the transitional state, and to achieve liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth, or samsara.

​

The Tibetan Book of the Dead presents three of the six bardos: the moment of death, reality, and rebirth, and includes practices for living a spiritually directed life.

​

Lama Lakshey Zangpo Rinpoche was born in eastern Tibet to a nomad family. He was recognized at a young age as a Tulku and entered Mardo Tashi Choling monastery at the age of 11. Later, Rinpoche studied at Larung Gar Institute in Tibet for a decade with H.H. Jigme Phuntsok and he was enthroned by H.H. Katok Getse Rinpoche at his center in Washington state. He has taught in the U.S. and Canada for over 15 years and provides instruction on Buddhist meditation and eastern psychology to dharma practitioners, university students and faculty, medical communities, and tech corporations. Lama Lakshey Rinpoche is the spiritual advisor of Tsinta Mani Choling and teaches in person and online.

​

TLC will provide the needed texts when you register and Rinpoche will give the "lung transmission" for them during this teaching. At Rinpoche’s request, all participants must have received formal Buddhist refuge vows in order to attend.​
