Time is the Bardo

 The Bardo;
the period between death and birth.

The length of a day in the Bardo
is called a ‘meditational day’.

 It is equivalent to the length of time
(according to Tulku Urgyen)
a practitioner is capable of remaining in undistracted awareness.
The moment of recognition until forgetting.

 It is not a measurement of time according to an earthly clock.
This makes sense, as there are no clocks, no body and no Earth in the Bardo.
There is only awareness, or confused awareness.

 These days could be extremely brief for normal people,
although much is experienced while we are driven
by the force of our karmic projections.

 We only dream when we are asleep.
When we wake, we are no longer dreaming.
Being awake is recognising our true nature.

 If we are aware that we are dreaming,
seeing all appearances as our projections,
then
we are awake!

 Our practice is to remain
in undistracted awareness.
Then we will see, and know more,
in the Bardo day.
