THE BARDO RETREAT
Understanding Bardo
Over two thousand years ago, Tibetan Buddhists created a practice of dying and being reborn. Central to this is the Bible, the Bardo Thödol – Liberation in the Intermediate State through Hearing (The Tibetan Book of the Dead). The term ‘bardo’ means ‘a transitional time,’ and as such, it is a time of a heightened potential for inner transformation.
Tibetan lamas traditionally read the Bardo Thödol to dying people and even after their deaths – with the understanding that our ability to hear continues even after Death. It guides the listener through what Tibetan Buddhism teaches are various stages that the consciousness enters once it leaves the body and up to the point of either liberation or rebirth. Through meditation, one consciously enters this ‘Intermediate State’ and becomes detached from attachments.

Osho's Bardo Thodol is a meditation retreat focusing on the Bardo Teachings.
Bardo means “in-between” or “intermediate state.” The Bardo Thodol (“Liberation through the hearing in the Bardo”) is a profound teaching from the Tibetan tradition on how to prepare for a conscious death and how to guide the consciousness through the many powerful and profound experiences happening in the transition time between Death and subsequent life, how to use those experiences to achieve liberation.
It’s one of the most precious Dharma from Tibetan Buddhism.
Osho calls the Bardo the most outstanding contribution Tibet has made to the world. This profound meditation retreat is an introduction to the basic principles of the Bardo, the initial dissolution stages of the death process, namely the Bardo of Death, the Bardo of Reality (reality), and the Bardo of Becoming (rebirth). An essential teaching of how to stop the wheel of birth and Death.
DEATH IS THE CRESCENDO
“Death is the crescendo, the highest peak that life can attain. In the moment of Death, much is possible. If you have been preparing and preparing, meditating and waiting, then at the moment of death enlightenment is very easily possible, because Death and enlightenment are similar …If you have been preparing if you have been meditating, and preparation means if you have been making all efforts to use Death, to use this abyss of nothingness, rather than being pulled into it, you have been getting ready to jump into it, it makes a lot of difference….” OSHO
“I would like to teach you not only how to live, I would also like to teach you how to die.” OSHO
Bardo Thodol is a very precious and profound guide for the whole death process and life.
COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION
These rare and precious teachings require our absolute commitment and dedication. This means being clear about our willingness to dive into them. Make sure you are present to it for the whole process, not just partially. Listening, absorbing, meditating, and understanding these special instructions on the death process is essential and immensely contributes to our spiritual Path and understanding. Listen and participate with love in inner silence and watchful awareness.
Going into the daily meditations means preparing and being open to the understanding; they are the vehicle to dissolve the obstacles and move on the Path.
POTENTIAL SEEDS OF AWAKENING
These teachings are between the ultimate wisdom and insight, full of potential seeds of awakening. They require that we participate and practice with our whole hearts. This clear commitment, if taken sincerely, can work very deeply for us.
Osho talks about Death as the most favourable opportunity for enlightenment and the Bardo Thodol as the most excellent guide, but we must prepare. This Retreat is meant to create a base for that preparation.
“In the Greatest Death, you only die, you are not reborn, you disperse yourself in the wholeness of the cosmos” OSHO.
