Quotes by our lamas

There are several well-known Tibetan lamas who have spoken about the importance of the Bardo ceremony in helping the deceased navigate the intermediate state between death and rebirth. Here are some quotes:

1. Lama Zopa Rinpoche:

"Bardo prayers and practices are extremely important because they can make a huge difference for the person who has died. The bardo is a very delicate time. By doing prayers, we can help the person who has died and support them on their journey."

2. Sogyal Rinpoche (Author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying):

"The bardo teachings are a profound gift to humanity, helping us understand and prepare for the journey that follows death. Through practices such as the Bardo Ceremony, we can assist the deceased in finding liberation or a positive rebirth."

3. Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche:

"The bardo is a time of great opportunity. When we practice the bardo rituals for those who have passed, we offer them guidance at a time when the mind is pliable and can be directed towards realization."

4. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama:

"At the time of death, and in the bardo, consciousness is very subtle and susceptible to influence. The prayers and rituals performed by the living can have a powerful effect in guiding the deceased towards a better rebirth and even liberation."

These quotes emphasize the critical role of the Bardo Ceremony in assisting the consciousness of the deceased and highlight the compassionate intention behind these practices in Tibetan Buddhism.
