The 'painful' bardo of dying (Skt. mumūrṣāntarābhava; Wyl. 'chi kha 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.
Alternative Translations

    bardo of death
