Clinging to life in the face of our own and other’s dying process can be a great source of suffering. Understanding the six bardos deepens our awareness of our nature as sentient beings and develops our knowledge about living and dying. In this way, we have more love and compassion towards self and others, recognize our true nature, and face the dying process with greater ease.

At the conclusion of the teachings, Yogi Lama Gursam will give a Green Tara Empowerment. Green Tara is an enlightened female deity. Receiving her blessings is a sacred medicine for fear and source of accomplishment towards our desire to liberate sentient beings from suffering.

Katie Fabac, Lama Gursam’s assistant, will be leading Meditation and Movement Practices.
