Roadmap for the Bardo: Tibetan Book of the Dead – Ep. 78
In this podcast Professor Thurman teaches how each of us creates causes and conditions throughout our life, and how the consequences of those causes will go with us as our consciousness continues into the journey after death (“bardo”) and finds new embodiments.
