༓ THE DOORS HAVE SWUNG OPEN ༓
and somewhere in the digital fog, a little purple train has pulled into the station with coffee in its veins and stars in its pockets.

Bardonauts, the new Bardo Café website is live!

www.thebardocafe.com

We’re opening the doors today on Sangye & Nyangde Düchen — the Great Day of Awakening & Release — a day that remembers the Buddha’s enlightenment and passing beyond clinging. So this little launch arrives not just as a website, but as an offering: may it be useful, may it gather goodness, may it help a few wandering hearts remember the gap beneath the noise.

Inside the café you’ll find:
༒ workshops for curious minds and wandering nervous systems
༒ a book club for slow readers, soft listeners, and philosophical loiterers
༒ interviews with teachers, wanderers, wisdom-weavers, and fellow gap-gazers
༒ wakeful wares: shirts, totes, notebooks, and other small relics for remembering the obvious miracle
༒ a place to connect, subscribe, and stay tuned as the kettle begins its next cosmic burble

°✧•°⋆⋅༗⋅⋆°•✧°

And truly—if you choose to pick up something from the new site, please know how much we appreciate it. Your support helps keep the kettle singing, the pixels shimmering, and this strange little café available for the community we’re so grateful to gather with.

So come poke around. Open a few doors. Click the glowing buttons. Let the strange little café pour you something warm from the great ungraspable thermos of Now.

°✧•°⋆⋅༗⋅⋆°•✧°

From the café where the moment pours itself,
The Bardoristas

Rainbow jewels are the shore
Nectar waves crash evermore
Birds in trees with turquoise leaves
Singing truth in harmony

May I wake up in that land
One of countless grains of sand
May we wake up in that land
Woven in a single strand

Lapis Lazuli
In your palace glistening
Clouds of dakinis Surround
All-pervading honey sound

May I wake up in that land
One of countless grains of sand
May we wake up in that land
Woven in a single strand

Homage to the one whose face is like
hundreds of full moons in the sky
Cluster of a thousand stars in space
Clarifies everything and radiates

Make me you, Make you me
May we merge inseparably
Make me you, Make you me
May we merge inseparably

Flood me with your lightening gaze
Mother of virtue, garland blaze
With your bliss, you saturate,
Words of awareness liberate.

Make me you, Make you me
May we merge inseparably
Make me you, Make you me
May we merge inseparably

Asato Ma Sat Gamaya
Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya
Mrtyor Ma Amrtam Gamaya

: This is the game. Play well.

“Within is void, without is void; like an empty vessel in space, completely full internally, completely full externally, just like a pot in the ocean.
Without thought of the external or even internal thought, all thoughts abandoned, without even a single thought.
The entire world is only the fabrication of thought. Play of mind is only created by thought. By transcending the mind which is composed of constructed thought, definitely peace will be attained, O Rama.”

-Hatha Yoga Pradipika 4:56-58

“The Ishavasya Upanishad explains everything as the ‘full’ from which nothing can ever be separated because everywhere is still a part of that fullness. The whole of this world, universe, the galaxies and stars, etc., are the total unfoldment of nature (i.e. Shakti), and though it is in constant motion and transformation, with forms appearing and disappearing, nothing is ever lost from the total; the whole remains one. This is the philosophy of tantra, yoga and Vedanta.

The subtle essence of the purest existence is within and without all. The Ashtavakra Samhita states: ‘Just as the same all-pervading space is inside and outside a jar, so the eternal all-pervasive Brahman is in all things.’ In actuality, that is the only one real state and all other qualifications are only relative definitions which are ultimately illusory. The Avadhoota Gita even denies the reality of individual existence altogether. It states: ‘There is no pot, there is no pot’s interior space. Neither is there an individual soul, nor the form of an individual soul. Know the absolute Brahman devoid of knowable and knower’ (1:32). ‘As the space within a pot dissolves in the universal space when the pot is broken, so a yogi, in the absence of the body, dissolves into the Supreme Self, which is his true being’ (2:25). ‘There is no pot’s space or pot, no individual body or individual soul. There is no distinction of cause and effect […]. Why do you, who are the identity in all, grieve in your heart?’ (5:6).
-Swami Muktibodhananda

: we give things their thingness.
In reality, they aren’t anything.

“Since all phenomena are naturally pure,
One should cultivate the clear
Understanding that there are no entities”
~ Buddha, The Sutra on Wisdom at the Hour of Death, 1.11

A wise dude once said, “We are always in transition. If you can just relax with that, you’ll have no problem.” — a cool breeze dropping timeless truth. Here in this chaos and light, where beings vibe and the cosmos pulses like a bass drop, we beam in pixel by pixel— we’re all just flickering, for real. And between the whirl and the glow, there’s a canyon, a rest between beats. And if you peep that pause — and don’t cling, just swing — you might just glimpse awareness winking.
Vibing in the canyon,
From behind the mask,

— The Bardo Bard 👁️✨

We’re all buddhas. We just don’t recognize it. We are confined in many ways to a limited view of ourselves and the world around us through cultural conditioning, family upbringing, personal experience, and the basic biological predisposition toward making distinctions and measuring present experience and future hopes and fears against a neuronal warehouse of memories.

Once you commit yourself to developing an awareness of your buddhanature, you’ll inevitably start to see changes in your day-to- day experience. Things that used to trouble you gradually lose their power to upset you. You’ll become intuitively wiser, more relaxed, and more openhearted. You’ll begin to recognize obstacles as opportunities for further growth. And as your illusory sense of limitation and vulnerability gradually fades away, you’ll discover deep within yourself the true grandeur of who and what you are.

Best of all, as you start to see your own potential, you’ll also begin to recognize it in everyone around you. Buddhanature is not a special quality available to a privileged few. The true mark of recognizing your buddhanature is to realize how ordinary it really is—the ability to see that every living creature shares it, though not everyone recognizes it in him- or herself. So instead of closing your heart to people who yell at you or act in some other harmful way, you find yourself becoming more open. You recognize that they aren’t “jerks,” but are people who, like you, want to be happy and peaceful. They’re only acting like jerks because they haven’t recognized their true nature and are overwhelmed by sensations of vulnerability and fear.

In the same way that a dreamer can dream of anything and everything, when you put the mind to work there is no limit to what it can do. But that is not freedom.

When the mind is put to use and gets caught up in it, this is the beginning of dukkha. The basic issue is we don’t recognize our own power.

The basic solution is to see that the universal solvent is in our own hands: we can observe without following thoughts, without judgment, without concretizing experience. And in that mindful nowness, we are free.
