Show Notes

This podcast explores what happens at the moment of death and beyond according to Buddhist wisdom found in the ‘Bardo Thodol’ known in English as the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Explaining the different stages of existence: life, death and the in-between Professor Thurman provides practical meditation methods for living more fully in our daily lives and to help one prepare for the moment of death.

Includes a detailed explanation of Vipassana (Insight Meditation), Shamatha (Calm Abiding Meditation) and their context within the Tibetan Buddhist Mind Training & Inner Sciences Tradition.
