 +The '''[[bardo]] of dying''' (Skt. ''mumūrṣāntarābhava''; [[Wyl.]] '' 'chi kha gnad gcod kyi bar do'') or more literally 'the bardo of the ceasing of the vital elements at the moment of death' — one of the [[four bardos|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]]<ref>Extracted from ''bar do rnam pa drug gi rtsa thig bzhug so'', which pertains to the cycle of the [[Bardo Tödrol Chenmo]]. Translation by [[Sogyal Rinpoche]], see ''[[The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying]]'', page 227.</ref>==

 +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.
