Nevertheless, Tibetan bardo (intermediates between lives) stories are

Anthony,
To me, Tibetan Buddhism is not quite Buddhism. The influence that
the native Bon religion has had on the Buddhism that was received
from India is still determinative. I don't criticize Tibetan
practice; but I could never get straight their CHANTING, though I
tried it while I stayed at a Tib. temple in Hawai'i, each day, on the
Big Island, for a few weeks. It's harder than Sheng Yen's Chinese
ritual was for me, by far! (but I hung out with him for 30 years.
Only a few weeks in HI... . Not fair of me. Yet, the difference is
stark).
