| | |  Bardo Thodol: Encyclopedia II - Ars moriendi - Short versionThe "short version", whose appearance coincides with the introduction of block books (books printed from carved blocks of wood, both text and images), first dates to around 1450, from the Netherlands. It is mostly an adaption of the second chapter of the "long version", and contains eleven woodcut pictures. The first ten woodcuts are divided into 5 pairs, with each set showing a picture of the devil presenting one of the 5 temptations, and the second picture showing the proper remedy for that temptation. The last woodcut shows the dying man, presumably having successfully navigated the maze of temptations, being accepted into heaven, a ...

Spiritual - Theosophy
Dictionary on
Bardo Bardo (Tibetan) (from bar between + do two) Between two; generally a gap, interval, or intermediate state, especially the state between two births. The term has become known in the West through the Bar do thos sgrol (bar-do tho-dol), "Liberation through Hearing in the Bardo," translated by W. Y. Evans-Wentz as The Tibetan Book of the Dead. According to the Bardo Thodol, there are six such "intervals": the bardo of birth, the bardo of dreams, the bardo of samadhi (meditation), the bardo of the moment before death, the bardo of dharmata, and the bardo of becoming. The Bardo Thodol describes the last three of these, and is recited in the presence of the deceased believed to be experiencing these states, usually for a total period of 49 days. It is believed that the teaching contained in the text can enable the deceased to attain liberation while in the bardo states, or at least to attain the best possible rebirth. Bardo is used in Tibet to refer to the many events and experiences undergone by the excarnate human being after death, generally considered to last from physical death until the next rebirth or reincarnation, though it is somewhat shorter than this. Since this period "may last from a few years to a kalpa" (ML 105), the bardo has more than the meaning commonly understood by the Tibetan populace which includes the time passed by the excarnate entity in kama-loka, in the intermediate or gestation period in which the entity is preparing for its birth into devachan, and the period of ineffable bliss and peace (illusory as it may be from the standpoint of reality) passed by the entity in the devachanic state itself. It also includes the later intermediate period -- usually carefully veiled from common knowledge -- existent between the ending of devachan and the rebirth of the reincarnating ego.

| | | | Bardo Thodol: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - Worth noting BG has virtually always been able to skillfully combine his interests into a cohesive, if highly eclectic, whole. His lyrics can feature Hinduism, Russian Orthodoxy, and drug use in the same quatrain and not make one blink an eye. The ability has only grown stronger over the years. 1999's "Psi" switches from detailed references to samurai culture to mentions of a certain carpenter's son to data storage on hard driv ...

| | | | Bardo Thodol: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - Early years The first six years of Aquarium's history lacked cohesion as Grebenshchikov and his various bandmates followed the Soviet equivalent of the hippy lifestyle: playing apartment jams, drinking the low-quality port wine available from the Soviet stores of the time, and intermittently travelling to remote gigs, even hitchhiking on rail freight cars.
Youthful philandering was heavily frowned upon by the Communist Party regime; decent recording facilities were out of reach because experiments in non-standardized self-expression were routinel ...

| | | | Bardo Thodol: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - Classical years BG's big break (or, in retrospect, his and the band's "watershed" moment), however, came in 1980, when Artem Troitzky (web site in Russian), the first public Russian rock critic and the enabling figure in many a Russian rock musician's carrier, invited Aquarium to perform at the Tbilisi Rock Festival.
The festival was a state-sanctioned attempt to channel the then-burgeoning Russian rock music movement into a controllable ideological vessel. If featured a laundered list of party-proof bland rock bands, but also Kraftwerk, whose ...

| | | | Bardo Thodol: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - Returning East Disillusioned in the possibility of exporting the Russian song-writing tradition to the West, BG returned to Russia and entered a phase of returning to his Russian roots. The year 1991 saw him come out with a "Russian album" (Russkiy al'bom), backed by an all-new, eponymous BG Band. The album featured a line-up of songs very "Russian" in both lyric and tune, and wasn't initially met with much public appreciation (in retrospect, however, it is considered by most critics one of his best records). BG was defiant, however, a ...

| | | | Bardo Thodol: Encyclopedia II - Necronomicon - The book Lovecraft often referenced fictional works in his horror fiction, a practice common among subsequent fantasy authors like Jorge Luis Borges and William Goldman. The Necronomicon was first mentioned in Lovecraft's 1923 short story "The Hound", though hints of it (or similar books) appear as far back as "The Statement of Randolph Carter" (1919). In the stories, the book is dangerous to read because it is often harmful to the health and sanity of its readers. For this reason, libraries keep it under lock and key.
Capitalizing on the notoriety of the fictional tome, real-life publishers have printed many books entitled ...
