Who are you? -- Acknowledge the wave but stay with the ocean -- Born with a silver spoon -- Impermanence and death -- Letting wisdom arise -- What will you do in the bardo? -- Lessons from Milarepa -- Varanasi rail station -- Emptiness, not nothingness -- If you see something, say something -- A visit from panic, my old friend -- A day at the ghats -- Of sleep and dreams -- Learning to swim -- Memento mori -- Where the Buddha died -- What is your happy dream? -- Coming through darkness -- A chance encounter -- Naked and clothed -- No picking, no choosing -- Working with pain -- The four rivers of natural suffering -- Recalling the bardos -- Giving everything away -- When death is good news -- Awareness never dies -- When the cup shatters -- In the bardo of becoming.
