i ever heard this from a layman teacher long ago, that one needs
to recognise the clear light in the bardo stage. he ever told me
before, that there are also other colored lights such as green,
red, blue as well each representing the path light to respective
rebirth. he said that during this bardo stage, one is not as awake
or in complete control of the firm awareness of as now so he also
did advise the ones to practice mindfulness and meditation well
when we are alive.
as for the "zhong ying shen", i also have come across in the
mahayana teaching and to verify, well not exactly to
verify....:
after my dad passed away, i dreamt of him for 2weeks and on the
last few days of the 2 weeks i dreamt he had finally closed his
eyes in death like a sign he had let go to move on..... we can't
see and know for now, neither can the dead say anything but the
consciousness of the mind during sleep, faint, meditating, waking
could collectively present an understanding of the ongoing of the
mind-consciousness throughout the bardo and taking rebirth.
each day each moment is a rebirth of us not realising
also...
