It is led by Michael Katz, a psychologist, artist, and author with a doctorate from New York University and a longtime student of Tibetan Buddhism authorized to teach dream yoga and meditation by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu. The session covers the outer and inner signs that death is near, the dawning of the true nature's luminosity for practitioners, and the possible realms of rebirth. Katz says understanding these teachings brings radical openness and connectedness, leaving one at peace with whatever happens and supporting recognition of the mind's real nature.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/bardo-teachings-an-experiential-journey-with-michael-katz-57015/", "official_url": "https://shop.thus.org/products/bardo-teachings-an-experiential-journey-with-michael-katz", "image": "https://noky.io/images/11075706a942df1b7d6eedb5ce9162439d8e3b2a957c7cd9f8e38b5c197694e3-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-05T18:30:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Tibet House US", "address": "West 15th Street 22", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Bob's Buddhism: Pop-Up Series Celebrating the Brilliance of Robert Thurman's Buddhism | Madhyamaka Bob | with Joe Loizzo and Tom Yarnall", "start": "2026-11-10T18:30:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Tibet House US", "address": "West 15th Street 22", "price": "free", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "tickets_url": "https://shop.thus.org/products/becoming-less-perturbable-through-mindfulness-with-nick-shopa", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["religion/buddhist"], "description": "An evening of interactive learning and discussion exploring the thought and meditations of the late professor Robert Thurman, part of a pop-up series celebrating his Buddhism.
