Testimonials:
"Neo performed the Bardo Ceremony last week for my loved one who just passed. I experienced a profound difference in energy a few days later. The feeling was that of immense clearing and expansiveness, and emptiness. I truly felt my Mom had moved on and was missing her so. At that moment, a very large flock of white doves (100+) flew in front of and above the house. I perceive it as a positive sign she has gone to Heaven. The Bardo Ceremony is such an immense gift to offer to your loved one who has passed. It clears their lives past and guides them on to higher existences. I am extremely fortunate to have found this most vital service, which is rare indeed." - Maxine 8/23/17
"Neo had performed the Bardo Ceremony for a friend of mine that very suddenly and without warning passed away in an accident. Today I felt something incredible where I seriously felt no grief, but suddenly in the public library had tears coming out of my eyes for no really explainable reason – I was actually right in the middle of studying for a professional exam. It was something incredible because I really felt fine but I took it as a sign that the ceremony had significance and impact. Thank you so much for everything." - Doug 1/14/18
"I am interested in having the Bardo Ceremony performed when I die. Do I need to do anything now? I was thinking that when I hear from you, I can give my daughter the details about completing the form so she will know what to do when I die. I am 85 years old and presently a Pure Land Practitioner. Since I am homebound and unable to travel, I want to thank you for this wonderful opportunity to make this Bardo Ceremony online." - JK January 2018
Sogyal Rinpoche (Author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying):
"To understand the bardo is to understand life and death, for the bardo states encompass both. The Bardo Thödol gives us an opportunity to recognize the true nature of our mind and to attain liberation."
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (Tibetan Buddhist master and writer):
"The time of death is a precious opportunity for spiritual awakening. If you train in the Bardo teachings now, at the moment of death you can recognize the clear light and attain liberation."
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama:
"The Bardo teachings offer guidance in overcoming fear at the time of death and finding liberation in the intermediate state. It is crucial to familiarize oneself with these teachings while still alive."
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (Founder of Shambhala Buddhism):
"The bardo experience can be a terrifying experience, but it is also a profound teaching on the ultimate nature of reality. In the Bardo, we are given the opportunity to realize the essence of mind."
These teachings emphasize that preparing for the Bardo during life is essential to navigating the transition after death. Bardo ceremonies and practices help practitioners recognize the true nature of the mind, potentially achieving liberation in the process.
