Summary: According to Tibetan tradition, in the bardo, an 'intermediate state' in the endless round of birth and death, we are free for an instant from that round. The Tibetan book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol) describes six of these opportunities for escape from reactivity. In today's FBA Dharmabyte, "The Bardo of Dream," Sangharakshita describes the second of the six bardos, the bardo of dreams. From the "Psycho-Spiritual Symbolism in the Tibetan Book of the Dead" given in 1967 in the series "Aspects of Buddhist Psychology."
