This class offers an in-depth exploration of Mind Beyond Death by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, guiding students through its rich teachings on the Tibetan concept of the bardos—the transitional states between life, death, and beyond. Through close reading and discussion, we will uncover how the book presents these profound teachings in a way that is accessible, practical, and deeply relevant to modern life. Students will learn how the six bardos offer not only a framework for understanding death, but also a path for living more fearlessly and mindfully. By engaging with Rinpoche’s warm, insightful commentary and the meditation practices outlined in the book, participants will gain tools to transform life's transitions—both ordinary and ultimate—into opportunities for awakening and spiritual growth.
