The session opens with a teaching on the Three Buddha Bodies and the meaning of dedication in prayer. A question leads to an extended exploration of rebirth, craving, and how to support those in the bardo state. Geshé-la explains the difference between physical, light, and mental bodies, and outlines the correct ways to make offerings, dedicate merit, and guide the consciousness of the deceased without creating attachment.

Further discussion addresses the ethics of healing, the misuse of spiritual power, and how hallucinations or altered perceptions near death may reflect deeper truths. Geshé-la emphasizes the importance of motivation, clarity, and letting go — not only for the dying but for the living as well. The final portion includes practical guidance on offering practice, proper treatment of ritual objects, and the spiritual value of openness, awareness, and ethical intention.
