Bardo Thodol Chenmo: The Tibetan Book of the Dead
Online Teaching with Khenchen Wangchuk
June 11th - August 27th, 2026

Yeshe Khorlo USA is pleased to announce Khenchen Wangchuk Jamtsho will instruct a three-month online course on the Bardo Thodol Chenmo: The Tibetan Book of the Dead, also translated as Liberation Through Hearing in the Intermediate State.

This profound compilation of texts, originally composed by Padmasambhava and later discovered by the Nyingma treasure revealer Karma Lingpa, offers detailed instruction on death, rebirth, and liberation in the bardo, or intermediate state.

In The Self-Liberation of Seeing: Pointing-Out Instructions on Tögal (Direct Crossing) in the Bardo of Dharmata, Khenchen Wangchuk will give an introduction to the peaceful deities of the bardo. The physical features, implements, and actions of the peaceful deities, encountered for seven days, will be thoroughly explained.

On days eight to fourteen of the Bardo of Dharmata, the wrathful deities appear. These manifestations will also be described in detail, including their physical forms, weapons, and fearsome characteristics.

Finally, in The Self-Liberation of Existence, Khenchen Wangchuk offers instruction on the sipa bardo, explaining how the karma of virtue and vice propels us toward fortunate, or unfortunate, rebirth. Instruction on this bardo will help close the door to the six realms and enable you to choose an auspicious rebirth in the human realm as a child of yogis and yoginis who practice Buddhadharma with compassion and devotion.

Key Features of the Bardo Thodol Chenmo Online Course

Important points of practice in the intermediate state that can bring about liberation from samsara
Thorough description of the peaceful and wrathful deities encountered after death, including visual images from a text recently published in Bhutan
Instruction on seizing the conditions for a fortunate rebirth

English translation: Andrzej Rybszleger
Chinese translation: Zhang Fucheng

Critical for students of all backgrounds and experiences levels, these profound instructions from Padmasambhava light the way for liberation in the bardo. We invite dharma students from all lineages to study this timeless text under the direction of Khenchen Wangchuk.

三、课程内容
敦珠仁波切《六中阴》概要
依敦珠仁波切的教导，“中阴”并非仅指死亡之后的阶段，而是涵盖了从出生到成佛之间的一切经验过程。“中阴”意为“过渡”或“间隙”，从金刚乘，尤其是大圆满的角度来看，凡是尚未圆满证悟心性之时，皆属于中阴。
敦珠仁波切指出：
中阴并非危险本身，而是解脱的契机。
由于中阴阶段心识开放、流动且不固定，若能于任何一个中阴中认出心的本性，即可当下解脱。
六种中阴
生有中阴（此生中阴）——从出生至死亡
梦中阴——做梦的状态
禅定中阴——修行与禅定经验
临终中阴——死亡过程
法性中阴——本初觉性直接显现的阶段
投生中阴（受生中阴）——趋向再生的过程
从敦珠仁波切的大圆满见地来看，最关键的中阴就是当下这一刻。若能于现前认出觉性（rigpa），则一切中阴自然解脱。因此，大圆满的修持，尤其是立断（Trekchö），正是为生时、死时及中阴中认出心性所作的根本准备。
四、与第四阶闭关中阴教导的区别说明
堪布旺秋的六中阴课程与岗顶仁波切第四阶闭关中的中阴教导，在范围与应用层面有所不同：

Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche's Six Bardos

This unique course is built on a teaching by Dudjom Rinpoche (a Dzogchen master and root guru of Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche) and is supplemented by teachings from the Bardo Thodol (commonly referred to as The Tibetan Book of the Dead), in conjunction with Khenpo Wangchuk's personal experience.

The class is open to new and experienced students alike and will be recorded, offering students the opportunity to listen live or on demand. Register here for the Six Bardos class.

Khenchen Wangchuk's elucidating and engaging teaching style, praised by students who are currently taking his online ngöndro class, will offer fresh insight to this profound oral teaching from a great master in our lineage.

Additional details on the Six Bardos class, including dates and times, can be found below. Please note that this class is available live worldwide. Listed times are Pacific (USA) and may be different where you reside.

To meet the demand of our global sangha, our registration page is in both Chinese and English and can accept multiple forms of payment to accommodate international payment requirements.

If you encounter difficulty during registration, please reach out to us by email at [email protected].

Course Overview

Yeshe Khorlo USA will offer a systematic online course on Dudjom Rinpoche’s teaching on the Six Bardos during March, April, and May 2026.

This course consists of 24 online sessions (48 total hours), personally taught by Khenpo Wangchuk. It is an extremely rare and precious opportunity for in-depth study and practice, presenting the Six Bardos from the perspective of Dzogchen (Great Perfection) and establishing a solid foundation for practice in life, death, and the intermediate states.

About Khenchen Wangchuk

Khenchen Wangchuk holds a Doctorate in Buddhist Philosophy from Gangteng Buddhist University in Bhutan and completed a three-year retreat under the direct guidance of H.H. the 9th Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche.

He is thoroughly trained in:

Madhyamaka philosophy
Buddhist debate
Vajrayana ritual practice
Dzogchen meditation and experiential instruction

Khenpo Wangchuk served for fourteen years as a Vajra Master at Drametse Monastery under H.H. the 10th Sungtrul Rinpoche. In 2021 he founded Nalanda Adi Ling Buddhist Institute in Bhutan.

He is currently the resident teacher of Yeshe Khorlo USA, providing long-term, systematic Dzogchen training and guidance to monastics and lay practitioners worldwide.

Course Content

According to H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche, the term bardo does not refer only to the period after death. Rather, it encompasses the entire continuum of experience from birth to enlightenment. Bardo means “interval” or “transition,” and from the Vajrayana—especially Dzogchen—perspective, any state in which the nature of mind has not yet been fully recognized is a bardo.

Dudjom Rinpoche emphasized that bardos are not dangers in themselves but profound opportunities for liberation. Because the mind in bardo states is more open and less fixed, recognition of the nature of mind at any point can result in immediate liberation.

The Six Bardos

The Bardo of This Life — from birth until death
The Dream Bardo — the dream state
The Meditation Bardo — experiences arising in meditation
The Bardo of Dying — the process of death
The Bardo of Dharmata — the direct manifestation of primordial awareness
The Bardo of Becoming — the process leading to rebirth

From Dudjom Rinpoche’s Dzogchen perspective, the most crucial bardo is the present moment. If rigpa (primordial awareness) is recognized now, all bardos are naturally liberated. Thus, Dzogchen practice—especially Trekchö (Cutting Through)—is the essential preparation for recognizing the nature of mind in life, death, and the intermediate states.

For those who have taken bardo teachings with Gangteng Rinpoche, or for those who are preparing for the Kunzang Gongdu Bardo Retreat, Khenchen Wangchuk’s Six Bardos course is different in both scope and application, making it accessible to all students.

Khenpo Wangchuk’s Course

Scope: A comprehensive and systematic introduction to all six bardos
Audience: Open to all practitioners, including newcomers
Focus: Establishing a clear foundational understanding of the bardo framework

Fourth-Stage Retreat Teachings

Scope: Specific and applied instruction based on Kunzang Gongdu
Audience: Practitioners who have completed the first three retreat stages
Focus: Advanced experiential guidance within the Pema Lingpa lineage, not a general overview

An Introduction to Dudjom Rinpoche’s Teaching on the Six Bardos

According to H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche, the term bardo does not refer only to the period after death. Rather, it encompasses the entire continuum of experience from birth to enlightenment. Bardo means “interval” or “transition,” and from the Vajrayana—especially Dzogchen—perspective, any state in which the nature of mind has not yet been fully recognized is a bardo.

Dudjom Rinpoche emphasized that bardos are not dangers in themselves but profound opportunities for liberation. Because the mind in bardo states is more open and less fixed, recognition of the nature of mind at any point can result in immediate liberation.

The Six Bardos

The Bardo of This Life — from birth until death
The Dream Bardo — the dream state
The Meditation Bardo — experiences arising in meditation
The Bardo of Dying — the process of death
The Bardo of Dharmata — the direct manifestation of primordial awareness
The Bardo of Becoming — the process leading to rebirth

From Dudjom Rinpoche’s Dzogchen perspective, the most crucial bardo is the present moment. If rigpa (primordial awareness) is recognized now, all bardos are naturally liberated. Thus, Dzogchen practice—especially Trekchö (Cutting Through)—is the essential preparation for recognizing the nature of mind in life, death, and the intermediate states.
