Today, we celebrate Nelson Mandela's life and legacy, and his commitment to freedom, justice, equality, human rights and service to others.

"I have always been inspired by Madiba’s life and belief that when people stand together, nothing is impossible. The future is in our hands. Today and every day, let’s carry forward Mandela’s vision of a just, inclusive, equal and peaceful world." — United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres

Please join us Monday, July 13 at 2pm ET to celebrate and honor the life of Bob Thurman at a Tsog (pronounced “tsok”) ceremony led by the Sera Jey Monastery, combining prayer and meditation with the consecration and communal sharing of food and drink. All are welcome to join us in person at Tibet House or livestream via thus.org, Facebook and Youtube.

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the 49 days following the passing of a great practitioner are regarded as a deeply meaningful and sacred period. The Tsog will be held on the first day of the fourth week (Day 22 to 28), and is an incredibly pivotal time. It is the exact midpoint of the 49-day Bardo (intermediate state). During this specific week, the deceased’s consciousness undergoes a major energetic shift and begins actively searching for its next karmic rebirth.

The “Bardo of Becoming” (Sidpa Bardo): Following the first three weeks of encountering peaceful and wrathful deities, this fourth week drops the deceased into the Bardo of Becoming. In this phase, they can experience strong illusions and psychological turbulence as they are pulled toward various realms of existence. By the fourth week, the consciousness has fully recognized its separation from the physical body and begins to encounter the imprints of past actions, entering a highly sensitive and reactive state in which the focused prayers and intentions of loved ones can offer meaningful support and guidance.
