The Bardo of the Dream State
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

DESCRIPTION:
This state of awareness is of the intermediate sphere of sleep and dream consciousness. It is illumined by meditation and yogic practice. Deceptive dream-imagery is said to be transformed into forms of knowledge, and because experience in this state can be guided, it is an important preparation for the bardos in the after-life.
CONTEXT:
This state is one of the six major bardo existences in Tibetan Buddhism.
