DEATH, INTERMEDIATE STATE, AND REBIRTH
(THE BARDO)
Part of Tantric Practice involves working with the notion of Death, Intermediate State, and Rebirth and the idea of Bardo.
Bardo means gap or space. Just as there is a gap between Death and our Next rebirth, so also there is a gap between the past moment and the next future moment. This gap is also present between Falling asleep, Dreaming, and Waking.
Tantric practices use this idea of the gap between these various aspects of our life to teach us to be more deliberate in how we arise from these gaps. Tantric practices teach us how to be more in control when we descend into or when we arise from each of these Bardos.
For a description of the dying and rebirth process, see the teachings on the Bardo in the 5 wisdoms teachings.
