“Bardo is a Tibetan word
meaning ‘...intermediate stage..’ or ‘..transitional stage..’ :)
or ‘..in-between.,’”
said Mingyur Rinpoche.
“..In our lives, these special moments, the in-between moments
are really important.
They help us grow, learn, explore who we are, and gain insight.
If we know how to use them :)
and how to use this opportunity to see our potential
then it will really benefit our lives..”


“The biggest gap that we will experience is the moment of our dying
- the big day..”
says Mingyur Rinpoche.

“..If you know death and dying practice,
you will die joyfully. And that joy cannot compare
to the joy you know now.
That joy is beyond concept..”

Rinpoche says everyone has this luminosity of mind :)
but we cannot see it due to the thoughts, emotions, perceptions
and memories that obscure our true nature.
“..But when we die, all these will dissolve..” he says.
What if that recognition could occur before death? :)
What if, during our lifetime, we recognized our essential nature

through the practice of Mahamudra, the sublime teachings on recognizing one’s awakened nature?

Doing a retreat is very important in Tibet, many great masters did retreat.
Some of them spent half of their lives doing retreats
and then after than they benefited many people.


We say, "..First, liberate yourself.." :)

If you liberate yourself through realization, then you can help others.
Then others can also gain realization, true wisdom, and true compassion.

And they can really help others to open their hearts and minds
to achieve the freedom of liberation.


For example Buddha spent six years in retreat
Before that, Buddha went to many places, and learned many different dharmas
- but why did Buddha become a Buddha?
Because he practiced, meditated, and did a retreat near the river Niranjana. -


This is an excerpt from Mingyur Rinpoche's teaching,
"..The Importance of Retreat.".

The nature of impermanence is that we are all dying every moment.
In a hospital there are doctors, nurses, and staff who are labeled “..not dying..”
and terminally ill patients who are labeled “..dying..”
but in reality there is no such difference. We are all dying.:)

Some of us have only a few hours left, some a few days, some a few years.
And who is to say that the doctor treating the person in the last stages of cancer
will outlive the patient? We all have a terminal condition called life. :)

The difference between our illness and that of the cancer patient
is just a matter of degrees. Ours will probably take a little longer to take effect. :)


All this is morbid and depressing
unless
we can see the truth in it & how this is the big wake-up call
to get us to stop wasting our life.
eeing how we are racing toward death, we can think
“..I must not waste my life. I must practice the Dharma purely.
I must make my life highly beneficial by practicing bodhichitta.
I will do whatever is of greatest benefit to sentient beings..”
By thinking in all these different ways about impermanence and death
we should reach this conclusion.
