precious teaching from Lama on the Bardo Thodrol, commonly referred to here in the West as The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Lama is providing much need clarity and help in understanding the hidden meanings in this tantric text.
This work, like many Vajrayana texts, cannot be understood or comprehended correctly by reading a commentary. A good understanding requires a qualified guru and his oral transmission. Concerning the Bardo Thodrol. These teachings are not only for after death but are actually for us to practice right now and the result of our studies and practices will benefit us right now and after death.
The work has been traditionally attributed to Padma-Sambhava, an Indian mystic who was said to have introduced Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century. Legend has it that while visiting Tibet, Padma-Sambhava found it necessary to conceal sanskrit works he had arranged to be written. The Tibetans of that time were not ready for the spiritual teachings contained therein, so he hid his texts in strange and remote locations, leaving them to be discovered at a later time when their spiritual message could be received by those with an open mind.
The most famous of those that discovered and revealed Padma-Sambhava's writings was Karma Lingpa who was born around 1350 CE. According to his biography, Karma Lingpa found several hidden texts on top of a mountain in Tibet when he was fifteen years old. Within those texts, he found a collection of teachings entitled The Self-Emergence of the Peaceful and Wrathful Deities from Enlightened Awareness. These teachings contained the texts of the now famous Great Liberation upon Hearing in the Bardo.
