The 'painful' bardo of dying (Skt. mumūrṣāntarābhava; Wyl. 'chi kh gnad gcod kyi bar do) — one of the four or six bardos.
Teachings on the bardo of dying usually contain the instructions for phowa practice.
'Root Verse' for the Bardo of Dying by Padmasambhava
- ༈ ཀྱེ་མ་བདག་ལ་འཆི་ཁ་བར་དོ་འཆར་དུས་འདིར༔
- ཀུན་ལ་ཆགས་སེམས་ཞེན་འཛིན་སྤངས་བྱས་ལ༔
- གདམས་ངག་གསལ་བའི་ལམ་ལ་མ་གཡེང་འཇུག༔
- རང་རིག་སྐྱེ་མེད་ནམ་མཁའི་དབྱིངས་སུ་འཕང༔
- འདུས་བྱས་ཤ་ཁྲག་ལུས་དང་བྲལ་ལ་ཁད༔
- མི་རྟག་སྒྱུ་མ་ཡིན་པར་ཤེས་པར་བྱ༔
- Now when the bardo of dying dawns upon me,
- I will abandon all grasping, yearning, and attachment,
- Enter undistracted into clear awareness of the teaching,
- And eject my consciousness into the space of unborn rigpa;
- As I leave this compound body of flesh and blood
- I will know it to be a transitory illusion.
