Классический текст тибетского буддизма повествующий о путешествии души после окончания жизни и дающий инструкции для успешного прохождения через области различных миров на пути к освобождению. The Bardo Thotrol (Bar-do’i-thos-grol) is one of a series of instructions on six types of liberation: liberation through hearing, liberation through wearing, liberation through seeing, liberation through remembering, liberation through tasting, and liberation through touching. They were composed by Padmasambhava and written down by his wife, Yeshe Tsogyal, along with the sadhana of the two mandalas of forty-two peaceful and fifty-eight wrathful deities. Padmasambhava buried these texts in the Gampo hills in central Tibet, where later the great teacher Gampopa established his monastery. Many other texts and sacred objects were buried in this way in different places throughout Tibet, and are known as terma, hidden treasures.

Pt. 1 contains footage shot in the Himalayas of rites/ ceremonies/liturgies surrounding the death of a Ladakhi elder, a segment in which the Dalai Lama relates his views on death, & scenes from a palliative care hospice in San Francisco, where the texts are used to counsel the terminally ill. Pt. 2 is a docudrama wherein an old lama and young novice monk conduct funeral rites during which the very foundations of Buddhism - the search for compassion & truth are explored Pt. 1. Contains footage of the rites and liturgies surrounding and following the death of a Ladaki elder.
