OSHO Bardo vs Stage Map | BG

OSHO Bardo is a meditation, and the metaphysical dying or ‘letting go’ that happens when we move into meditation is similar in many ways to physical death. Meditation is a way to rehearse – and so become more at ease with – the process of dying before it actually happens. To benefit from OSHO Bardo you don’t need to wait for the final moments of death; regularly practicing the process can create this freedom in your life and at the same time dispel the fear of death. In dying, as in meditating, we can... ⁕ Shift from the outer world to the inner ⁕ Relax, letting go of all tension ⁕ Move from doing to being 

 ⁕ Let go of all the various roles with which we have been identified 

⁕ Enter our own journey, however many other people might be around us 
 OSHO Bardo can be used by anyone, of any or no religious or spiritual affiliation. It is for: ⁕ Anyone who would like to live and die consciously 

⁕ Anyone who would like to be able to relax while remaining present and alert ⁕ Anyone who has a fear around living or dying ⁕ Those already familiar with meditation as well as those who would like to learn how to meditate ⁕ Carers of those who are ill or dying The term BARDO means ‘a transitional time’ and, as such, it offers a heightened potential for inner transformation. The original Bardo Thödol was an ancient method used in Tibet to support the transition of dying. Osho has asked that a new, more contemporary version be created which supports people who want to die consciously and in a spirit of celebration. OSHO Bardo can be used as a regular meditation to help us to relax and know more awareness and joy in our everyday lives. It is also a preparation for the crescendo of life and the greatest experience of letting go that we will encounter – letting go of life itself. Over two thousand years ago Tibetan Buddhists created a practice of dying and being reborn. Central to this is the scripture called the Bardo Thödol – Liberation in the Intermediate State through Hearing (aka The Tibetan Book of the Dead). The term, ‘bardo’,’means ‘a transitional time’ and as such it is a time of a heightened potential for inner transformation. Meditation is used as a method to enter this ‘Intermediate State’ consciously and so become free of attachments. Osho praises the Bardo Thödol as Tibet’s most valuable contribution to the world. However, he also says that a more contemporary version of the Bardo, or a process like it, is needed. The Bardo Thödol was created for a specific time, culture, and religion and for people for whom the practice of meditation was intrinsic to daily living. Osho’s vision is global, encompassing the diversity of those who are new to meditation as well as contemporary and even future meditators. This is reflected in the text of OSHO Bardo, with its easily understandable suggestions that are free of any cultural or religious references. * Available in English, 中文, Dansk, Ελληνικά, हिन्दी, Italiano, Español, 日本語, Deutsch, Русский & Nederlands language.

The mobile application “Stage Map | BG" is a product of the Bulgarian Music Association, which we decided to create after defining one of the most tangible needs of our music ecosystem - that of maintaining an up-to-date registry of spaces where music projects can be displayed. "Stage Map | BG" provides quick and easy access to an extensive array of data, thus facilitating the overall process of planning an artist's musical activity. It includes concert halls, theater halls, open stages, halls in community centers, galleries and art clubs, night clubs and other multi-purpose halls adapted for the presentation of music. The product would also support the process of identifying the stage spaces in Bulgaria and the communication along the artist-stage-audience chain. Users can search by location type and location, then a map integrated with Google maps opens where the results are displayed. There is an option to save the selected spaces in Favorites for greater convenience for further planning. It is also possible to search only by map, if the user wants to more easily compare what spaces are available in the area that interests him. For each space there is information entered, such as contacts, number of halls in one location, capacity of the hall, technical provision - is there sound and lighting equipment, does the hall have a technical team and is there a rent and if so - what is it. The application has a link to the Calendar of musical events on the website of the Bulgarian Music Association, which is updated daily. In this way, the user can follow the musical events that have taken place or are about to take place in the space of his choice. The application and the website are tied to a single database that stores the information we collect. We believe that this product will be of great benefit not only to the music sector, but also to all other performing arts, helping to facilitate their integration and development in the cultural scene of Bulgaria. The application is open to all stage spaces in Bulgaria who wish to participate, and for this purpose a special survey is filled out.
