Upcoming Programs by Tempa Dukte Lama

Bardo Teaching
Tempa Lama will teach about the stages of the Bardo, and the mental, emotional and physical shifts that take place during the different Bardo stages. ‘Bardo’ is a Tibetan word consisting of “Bar” – the “between state” where the consciousness has left this body and not yet taken another body; and “Do”– the consciousness that is without the physical support of a body.
