Lopon Osel http://welcomingbuddhist.org/?p=1359 By Dudjom Rinpoche A Talk Given on the Occasion of the Empowerment of the Thousand Buddhas Associated with the Sadhana of the Noble Compassionate One, the Lord of Space It has been said that the whole of the Buddha’s doctrine could be summarized in the teaching on the six bardos. The Buddhadharma is vast and profound, and the many approaches of the various vehicles and cycles of teaching comprise an inconceivable wealth of instruction. For those who wish to attain the primordial citadel of Buddhahood in the course of a single human life, the practice of these teachings is presented within the framework of the six bardos. What, therefore, is a bardo? A bardo is a state that is “neither here nor there”: by definition it is something that comes “in between,” an intermediate state. The six bardos are:

1. the natural bardo of the present life
2. the hallucinatory bardo of dreaming
3. the bardo of meditative absorption
4. the painful bardo of dying
5. the luminous bardo of ultimate reality
6. the karmic bardo of becoming

Lopon Osel http://welcomingbuddhist.org/?p=1238 The Hundred Verses of Advice: Tibetan Buddhist Teachings on What Matters Most" by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Padampa Sangye, Buddhist masters. With the philosophy outlined in this book we achieve joy, bliss and inner peace. The Hundred Verses of Advice was written by the great accomplished Master Padampa Sangye, who was a great Bodhisattva from India. He wrote this root text to bring benefit to all beings. The commentary is by Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. These two great masters were precious, holy, noble beings. They have both passed away, but their teachings are still alive and are very beneficial. These are not the writings of ordinary people. An ordinary person writes with rational intellect, but they don't have the capability to teach Dharma because they just gather fragments of teachings from too many sources. Just like a broken glass, if one tries to put it back together, it will never be the same as its original form. Their writings do not have the power of blessings. When reading this you recognize a great master's quality, just by hearing, seeing or touching a great master you will receive blessings.
