Lama Live! with Lama Tsultrim Allione & Lopön Robin Gayle | Minding the Gap: The Bardo of This Life

What if the “gap” in everyday life is actually a doorway to awakening? Join Lama Tsultrim Allione and Lopön Robin Gayle for a special Lama Live conversation exploring the themes of the upcoming retreat, Minding the Gap: The Bardo of This Life. In this livestream, Lopön Robin introduces the heart of the teachings on the bardo of this life—the threshold spaces woven throughout our everyday experience. What is the “gap,” and why does it matter? How can recognizing these subtle pauses transform the way we relate to thoughts, emotions, and the unfolding of our lives? The bardo teachings remind us that awakening is not somewhere else. It is available in the immediacy of this moment. This conversation offers an accessible doorway into the retreat’s theme and a chance to connect directly with Lopön Robin’s guidance. 🌼 Minding The Gap: Journey Through The Six Bardos | https://www.taramandala.org/programs-... 🌸 Sadhana Of Machig Labdron | https://www.taramandala.org/programs-...
