Bardo State

Some moments in our lives change the future dramatically. Such moments are always accompanied by deep emotions. We express and share our emotions through art. The same art that enriches our lives every day. On Mariposa, Bardo State tried to capture a variety of intense emotions. By using an impressive blend of classical music, world, pop and ambient, Bardo State managed to create a sound that pulls you out of everyday life and lets you experience short journeys through the labyrinth of our deepest feelings. Listen to the songs and watch the impressive videos to get a taste of what the album is about. Listen to it in private or with a dear friend. The music might open inner doors that were closed before.
Meaning of the words BARDO STATE: Central to the Tibetan concept of after-life existence is the Bardo. The word means literally "intermediate state". According to Tibetan esotericists, steeped as they are in Buddhist learning, all existence is nothing but a series of alternating transitional states, or "bardos". Waking, sleeping, meditating, dying, wandering in the spirt world, reincarnating; all these are bardos. Generally however, the term is used to designate the period from physical death to physical rebirth. And, just as waking existence can be divided into bardos (such as waking and sleeping), so can the afterlife existence.
Basically then, the Bardo Thodel describes a distinct sequence of states (bardos) through which the individual passes through between death and rebirth.
