 | I call this the Bardo series because I think this is a taste of the bardo, the state between. It’s a kind of preview of death or a taste of awakening, when we are stripped of our minds and the solidity of physicality. We know physicality is an illusion from the Dharma, in our minds, but the Bardo Series is about a journey where everything around us is turning into smoke and mirrors. It’s not what we were looking for and it’s not completely comfortable. The ground disappears from under our feet and we are floating. It could be scary, but it could also be very relaxed, depending on our reaction. Once you are dead, you can stop struggling to survive; but you can also freak out. When I look at the pictures I can react verydifferently from time to time. |

These sideways lead to the beauty astray
Without any direction
Without any master
Without any way
Only do not know
Self astray
This undoing is finding real self
Lose all this world to find
If you read this - lose this also
Lose all
off zen out now! |
