We divided the virtual space into stages which cannot be explored autonomously \u2013 their visuals and purpose are based on a specific journey towards a certain direction. According to The Tibetan Book of the Dead, they are Kyenay bardo, Milam bardo, Samten bardo, Chikhai bardo, Ch\u00f6nyi bardo and Sidpa bardo. We identify the participant in their transmigration process with the supra-individual \u201cmental body\u201d (jid-kji lus), \u201cmind\u201d (sems) and \u201csubtle consciousness\u201d (rnam-shes p\u2019ra-mo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n1 | kyenay bardo (skye gnas bar do): is the first bardo of birth and life. This bardo commences from conception until the last breath, when the mindstream withdraws from the body.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n2 | milam bardo (rmi lam bar do): is the second bardo of the dream state. The Milam Bardo is a subset of the first Bardo. Dream Yoga develops practices to integrate the dream state into Buddhist sadhana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 | samten bardo (bsam gtan bar do) is the third bardo of meditation. This bardo is generally only experienced by meditators, though individuals may have spontaneous experience of it. Samten Bardo is a subset of the Shinay Bardo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 | chikhai bardo (\u2018chi kha\u2019i bar do): is the fourth bardo of the moment of death. According to the tradition, this bardo is held to commence when the outer and inner signs presage that the onset of death is nigh, and continues through the dissolution or transmutation of the Ma- habhuta until the external and internal breath has completed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5 | ch\u00f6nyi bardo (chos nyid bar do): is the fifth bardo of the luminosity of the true nature which commences after the final \u2018inner breath\u2019 (Sanskrit: prana, vayu; Tibetan: rlung). It is within this Bardo that visions and auditory phenomena occur. In the Dzogchen teachings, these are known as the spontaneously manifesting Th\u00f6dgal (Tibetan: thod-rgyal) visions. Concomitant to these visions, there is a well- ing of profound peace and pristine awareness. Sentient beings who have not practiced during their lived experience and\/or who do not recognize the clear light (Tibetan: od gsal) at the moment of death are usually deluded throughout the fifth bardo of lumi- nosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6 | sidpa bardo (srid pa bar do): is the sixth bardo of becoming or transmigration. This bardo endures until the inner-breath commences in the new transmigrating form determined by the \u201ckarmic seeds\u201d within the storehouse consciousness.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
