The Mystery of Tukdam: Exploring Advanced Meditative States at Life’s End

With Drs. Tawni Tidwell and Tenzin Namdul, hosted by Alejandro Chaoul, Ph.D.

Join us for a special dialogue exploring tukdam, a rare meditative state described in Tibetan Buddhism and Bön. In tukdam, the body of a realized practitioner shows minimal signs of decomposition for days or even weeks after clinical death. This phenomenon is believed to reflect a profound mastery of meditation, merging consciousness with the Clear Light of the mind’s primordial nature.

This timely broadcast brings together leading researchers to illuminate the intersection of science and spirituality, following the recent passing of H.E. Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, the revered, most-senior teacher of the Tibetan Bön tradition. As His Eminence entered parinirvana on June 12, 2025, he remained in the tukdam meditative state for eight days.
