In this stirring three-part series, Jnanavaca explores the‘The Root Verses of the Six Bardos’, which exhort us to make the very best of our human situation. Each talk reflects on a different Bardo, those moments of potential when something new can arise.
The first talk is on: The Bardo of Life
"O now, when the Birthplace Bardo upon me is dawning!
Abandoning idleness -- there being no idleness in a devotee's life --
Entering into the Reality undistractedly, listening, reflecting, and meditating,
Carrying on to the Path knowledge of the true nature of appearances and of mind,
may the Tri-Kāya be realised:
Once that the human form hath been attained,
May there be no time in which to idle it away.
