This podcast explores what happens at the moment of death and beyond according to Buddhist wisdom found in the 'Bardo Thodol' famously known in English as the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Explaining the different stages of existence: life, death and the in-between Professor Thurman provides practical meditation methods for living more fully in our daily lives and to help one prepare for the moment of death.

Excerpted from a lecture given on November 29, 2015 at Menla Retreat Center, as part of a retreat called “Death & Deathlessness: Buddhist Insights and Practices for Life, Death, and the In-Between” with Dale Borglum & Robert Thurman.
