Bardo of Dream

Guest speaker Erik Pema Kunsang explores the Bardo of Dream

This bardo occurs during the sleep state, between falling asleep and waking up.

“The bardo of dream is the intermediate state from the time we fall asleep till we wake up the next day. The duration may differ but it is like death. The five senses – of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch dissolve into kunzhi (the base of all senses which is neutral in nature) and then we fall asleep. During that time, it’s similar to death even though we are sleeping. We must be able to recognise all appearances to be dream-like. Even in our dreams, we must be able to accumulate virtue. Similarly, practise different ways to recognise the nature of dreams. If we practise in this way, we will see waking appearances and dreams to be of the same nature, and this will boost our spiritual practice. It is said that this practice is also really helpful in clearing obstacles that threaten our lives.” 
— Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche
