Teachings given on March 8, 2013 by Lama Tsering Gyaltsen, a founding teacher, at Saraha Nyingma Buddhist Institute in Eugene, Oregon, USA on the subject "The Six Bardo's - The Intermediate States of Existence" 

“Bardo” is a Tibetan word meaning literally “between two,” which in Buddhism refers to the idea that within Samsara all states of existence are not static, but are actually continuous, successive, ordered facets of beginningless transition.  What we usually refer to as “life and death” are only two among the six bardos that are traditionally enumerated. 

Each Bardo has its own form of expression and development, and each presents beings with unique opportunities for the realization of enlightenment, or for advancement toward enlightenment, or conversely for decline into greater suffering.  Bardo teachings such as these are an important key to knowing where we are, which way to go, and  how to proceed.

Purification of Karmic Obscurations

Purification of Karmic Obscurations, 26 May 2013, New York, USA - Part 1

“No matter how much we sit, no matter how much we are not distracted, no matter how much we meditate, until you have the right view, you have done nothing. Until you have the right view, those things take you nowhere. You are still inside the net, you are still the fish being caught.” 
In October 2014, during the Dzongsar Monlam, Rinpoche gave a lively teaching on the Two Truths and the Buddhist view of emptiness in Bodhgaya, India, the most sacred place to practice and listen to the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha.

“無論我們打坐多久，無論我們多麼不散亂，無論我們禪修多久，除非擁有正見，否則你都是一無所成。除非你擁有正見，否則這些不會帶給你任何成果。你仍然處於網中，仍舊是被捕獲的魚。” —宗薩欽哲仁波切
2014年10月，在印度菩提伽耶這個佛陀證悟以及聽聞和修持釋迦牟尼佛教法的無上聖地，仁波切在宗薩祈願法會期間就“二諦”和佛教的空性見地做了生動的開示。

Triple Gem, August 2014, Auckland, NZ

The triple gem refers to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha: the three pillars of the buddhist path. When we take refuge in the three jewels we let go of our old values and step outside our comfort zone to begin to deconstruct the paradox of how we exist as a mass of tangled emotions, while at the same time we are the Buddha. Ultimately there is only one jewel, which we will eventually have to discard, just as we abandon the boat we have taken once we reach the other shore. Letting go of the path will be the hardest and most interesting part of our journey.

Wisdom and Compassion, 13 June 2015 - Vancouver, Canada

Wisdom and compassion or “method” are fundamental components of the Buddha Dharma. A sound, sober path will include both and balancing these two is always the biggest challenge. Without method, the path becomes abstract and theoretical. But methods, such as discipline, morality and ethics, without wisdom lead to righteousness and puritanical attitudes. The driving force to make us seek something spiritual is our fundamental wish not to suffer. Yet it is difficult to identify suffering and hard to accept that so-called happiness, success and good times will all result in suffering. One of the best ways to analyse suffering and the causes of suffering is to explore the techniques of wisdom and compassion. We need both: that is what the Buddha taught.
