Ann Tashi Slater returns to the Rubin Museum in Manhattan for a talk about bardo and the art of living. She will discuss her writing and her family connection to The Tibetan Book of the Dead, a guide to navigating bardo.

"Bardos are junctures at which the possibility for awakening, or liberation, is amplified. How can we navigate bardo periods of transition and come to terms with change?

Scholar and poet Dominique Townsend will lead a conversation with two vital contributors to the Tibetan literary landscape, Ann Tashi Slater and Tenzin Dickie. Slater will describe her great-grandfather’s instrumental role in bringing The Tibetan Book of the Dead to the West, and Dickie will reflect on the act of writing as an illustration of the bardo.

Join us at 6:15 PM for a pre-program exhibition tour of Death Is Not the End with Senior Specialist, Himalayan Art & Culture, Tenzin Gelek." (Rubin Museum) https://rubinmuseum.org/events/event/bardo-how-do-we-write-about-the-in-between
