SUMMARY:Bardo Teachings with Drupon Thinley Ningpo - Amitabha Empowerment
DESCRIPTION:Our Beloved Drupon Thinley Ningpo \nPlease join us and our beloved teacher\, Drupon Thinley Ningpo\, for this special weekend of Bardo Teachings\, November 22nd and 23rd\, 2025 (10am-12pm + 2pm-5pm MST)\, preceded by an Amitabha empowerment on Friday\, November 21st (6:30pm-8:30pm MST). \nLINK TO ZOOM \nBardo Teaching Text [PDF] \nREGISTER for Bardo Teachings with Drupon Thinley Ningpo \nThe term\, Bardo\, commonly refers to the transitional or “intermediate states” that occur during the period between death and rebirth. The Bardo teachings help us to understand what happens when the mind separates from the body at the time of death\, where it goes\, what to expect\, and how to prepare for the transition. \nIn a broader sense\, Bardo also refers to 6 key transitional experiences\, moments when gaps appear\, not just in the afterlife\, but also in everyday life\, including the bardos of dreaming and meditation. \nDrupon Thinley Ningpo will explore these 6 Bardo states and why it’s crucial to understand them and the opportunities present in each for liberation from samsara and the cycle of suffering. \nLocation + Registration\nThe teachings will be held at Red Tree Meditation & Yoga Center in Tucson and simultaneously broadcast online via Zoom.  We strongly encourage you to attend in person. \nAll are welcome\, no previous experience necessary. \nThe suggested donation for each weekend day is $40\, or whatever amount you can donate to support this and future teachings in the Old Pueblo. Registration is not required\, and can be done on day of teachings\, but pre-registration helps us to estimate total attendance and plan accordingly:\nREGISTER for Bardo Teachings with Drupon Thinley Ningpo
