Bardo Thodol, also known as the Tibetan Book of the Dead, is a sacred text of Tibetan Buddhism who describes the intermediate stages after death, known as bardos, which the soul passes through until rebirth. With both depth and simplicity, we discuss the Chikhai Bardo (moment of death), Chönyid Bardo (bardo of visions), and Sidpa Bardo (bardo of rebirth). This timeless guide not only prepares for death but also teaches how to live fully.
