4. Procession
(The Mandala of Life)
The Sherpa, unaware that he has a
silent onlooker, arrives in the remote
village, and is greeted by young playful
children. In the distance, winding
its way through the cobblestone streets,
the funeral procession can be heard
moving towards the monastery. In order
for the “spirit” of Lopsang Trilopa to
enter into the Chikhai Bardo state
(clear light of reality) and attain
enlightenment, passages from the
Bardo Thodol, a sacred Tibetan text
for the dying, are read in his presence
for three days. Upon his liberation, the
Bodisatta returns to be reborn, so that
the message of love and compassion may
free all sentient beings from temporal
suffering.
