August 19-22 According to the Tibetan Buddhist view, the subjective experience of death consists of sequential dissolutions, a process believed to present unique opportunities for the attainment of liberation. The Tibetan Book of the Dead teachings and Hundred Peaceful and Wrathful Deities (Shitro, Tib. zhi khro) empowerments describe the processes of death and rebirth, introduce the accompanying experiences, and prepare one for making the most of these transient opportunities encountered in the bardo (intermediate state) between death and rebirth. "It is the essence of the 6,400,000 Dzogchen tantras, and merely hearing this teaching cuts through birth in the lower realms; merely understanding it causes one to travel to the ground of great bliss (mahasukha); bringing its meaning to mind causes one to accomplish the irreversible state of the spontaneously arisen awareness holder. For everyone who connects with this teaching there will be great purpose and meaning." (Ayang Rinpoche, trans. Tyler Dewar, Garrison, 2009) Public Viewing of Shitro 3-Dimensional Mandala, August 22 12-2 pm Public Talk on Death and the Bardo at the Rubin Museum (Date and Time TBA)
