Bön bardo teachings

Bön bardo teachings outline the transitional states between death and rebirth, helping practitioners navigate the mind’s journey beyond physical life. They describe stages where consciousness, freed from physical constraints, encounters luminous clarity, negative emotions, and karmic patterns. Recognizing these states allows individuals to attain liberation or prepare for auspicious rebirth. Rooted in ancient Bön tradition—one of Tibet’s indigenous spiritual systems—the teachings emphasize awareness, compassion, and mindfulness during these transitional phases, ultimately guiding souls toward enlightenment or favorable rebirths.
