The Bardo Teachings (MP3)

Description

In it’s deepest meaning, bardo is the experience of awakened mind in every present moment. In order to realize that state, the extensive teachings on bardo present 6 bardos: living, dreaming, meditation, dying, dharmata and becoming. In these talks, The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche teaches practices for realizing nature of mind that are most appropriate for each bardo, basing his commentary on bardo teachings of Padmasambhava. Rinpoche supplements this with the bardo and powa yogas from the Six Yogas of Naropa section of Jamgon Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye’s Treasury of Knowledge. Translation assistance from Gerry Weiner. Fourteen talks on 2 MP3 CDs. These talks provided the basis for Rinpoche's book, Mind Beyond Death (Snow Lion).

Features

MP3CD Recordings
MP3CDs look like ordinary CDs, but contain compressed audio files. While a regular audio CD holds a maximum of only 80 minutes of recorded audio, an identical-looking MP3CD can easily hold the audio files from an entire weekend or even week-long teaching. MP3CDs can be played in a computer and/or the audio files can be downloaded into an iPod or similar device. MP3CDs may also be played on a portable MP3CD player. Most ordinary CD players, such as the CD player in most older cars (roughly 2005 and earlier), will not play MP3CDs. Many but not all cars 2006 or later do have MP3-capable CD players. Any car or home stereo CD player that is capable of playing an MP3CD will have “MP3” or “MP3-WMA” clearly marked on the front of it.
The MP3CDs available for sale on this web site are all clearly labeled and packaged in a clear case. The audio files on them have proper ID3 tag information, which means that on a computer, iPod or similar device the audio files will display (and can be searched by) Album (Title of teaching), Song (Talk number within a teaching) and Artist (Teacher).
