Natural Freedom Upon Hearing: Instructions on the Source Concerning the Intermediate States
Natural Freedom Upon Hearing: Instructions on the Source Concerning the Intermediate States
In the text, Tulku Sangak Rinpoche provides an experiential map through the bardos (intermediate states encompassing the entirety of life and death and everything between). In doing so, he gives instructions for attaining liberation within the six intermediate states according to the Namchak terma cycle of Peaceful and Wrathful Deities: Stirring the Pit of Hells from Its Depths.
This text contains instructions on some of the highest levels of tantric practice and is therefore not recommended for beginners.
