When I say, "Don’t do 'something'," it’s not a command. It’s meant to help you question, through the action of awareness, whether you are doing that kind of thing. Bardo means gap or intermediate state. When your life comes to an end you have no touchstone at all. You don’t have this incredible physical form that anchors you into this dynamic where things look so intensely real: the bardo of this life. What is fundamentally true? You could reflect on that. Don’t wander around looking for something else, abandoning what’s in front of you.
