The Bardos or Stages of Death and the Afterlife. The realm of the afterlife is called the world of the bardo. The term bardo is a general term which literally means in-between place and in this context denotes a transitional state, or what Victor Turner calls a liminal situation.
The stars are the many worlds, and bardo of the afterlife is like the night sky which is the backdrop or the space where the stars are hung. The bardo of death follows the initial experience of the dissolution of the four elements of the physical body at the time of death.
