On Friday evening, Patrul Rinpoche will give some basic outlines and explanations about Dzogchen and Longchen Nyingtig lineage, which he is a lineage holder of.
Padmasambhava’s teachings on Six Bardos
Bardo (Tib. བར་དོ་, Wyl. bar do; Skt. antarābhava) — commonly used to denote the intermediate state between death and rebirth, but in reality Bardos are occurring continuously, throughout both life and death, and are junctures at which the possibility of liberation, or enlightenment, is heightened.
According to Tibetan tradition, the Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State was composed in the 8th century by Padmasambhava, written down by his primary student, Yeshe Tsogyal, buried in the Gampo hills in central Tibet and subsequently discovered by a Tibetan terton, Karma Lingpa, in the 14th century
Patrul Rinpoche will give these rare teachings on Bardo, through which a practitioner can turn each phase of life into a chance to experience an uncontrived and natural liberation. In life and in death, in meditation and in sleep, every transitional stage of consciousness, or Bardo, provides an opportunity to overcome limitations, frustrations, and fears.

Rinpoche is a contemporary Lama with 20 years extensive experience of living in the West and teaching Dharma to Westerners. He is humorous, gentle and humble and he transmits Buddha’s profound wisdom in an accessible way to the contemporary Westerners. Rinpoche speaks excellent English.
