S1E9: The Mandala Principal - Practice and Presence in the Bardo

In this third of three talks Ed Podvoll gave in the 1980s at Naropa University, Ed frames The Tibetan Book of the Dead to be not as much a book about how to die, but how to live. He warns that there is the possibility of mentally "falling asleep and dreaming and never waking up." For those in the relational healing professions, Ed here speaks about how to help patients, clients, and ourselves recognize the cycles of the mind and wake up from them through practice and presence.
