U Za Rinchen Sal was an uneducated Tibetan woman who lived many centuries ago in a small village. She became ill, died, and travelled through the bardo of death visiting all of the hell realms as well as many buddha-fields and the lands of the khandro, or sky-walkers. Just before her body was to be burned, Uza Rinchen Sal came back to life. She was a transformed person. Her experiences were found to be perfectly in accord with all the teachings of the Bön tradition, and her narrative was written down for the benefit of practitioners. 

Join author and scholar Dr. Sangmo Yangri discuss her translation of this important work. Sangmo-la will share more about its history and how this tale can serve as a guide to living a life of dharma and practice. Sangmo-la is not only a scholar and an author but she is a deeply experienced practitioner who comes from a long line of dharma practitioners. She has spent many years working to reclaim the narratives of women in the Tibetan Bön tradition.
