Gnosis (Tantra) is a rigorous training of consciousness, to prepare it to traverse the stages of life and death. The Tibetan Buddhist Master Padmasambhava explained the stages of life and death as six "bardos" or "betweens" that, with training, can become gateways to a better life.

This lecture discusses "Root Verses of the Betweens" by Padmasambhava.

This is the third lecture of the course.
