Om ah hum!
The 42 Buddhas of the Vajra Realm, who radiate dazzling light in their splendid majesty, have gentle, beautiful, and peaceful appearances, are endowed with 32 marks and 80 characteristics, and adorn their bodies with beautiful ornaments, we offer worship, offerings, take refuge, and pray to the World-Honored Ones of the Vajra Realm.
When our lives are over and our bodies are transformed, and the pure dharma-nature bardo scene appears, when we wander in the swamp of reincarnation [without realizing it] due to the five thick and cruel poisons, may the appropriate World-Honored Ones lead us from the front on the bright path of the five holy wisdoms, may the mothers of the dharma-world and the mothers of the Buddhas push us from behind, and may the kings of the world and the mothers of the heavens who protect the ascetics of the mandala support us from around! May we be saved from the dangerous path of the fearful bardo! May we be guided to the Buddha's perfect enlightenment!

Practice diligently the Dharma practices and prayers of this Blessed One Hundred and Bold Buddha three times a day.
Even if you have committed the five sins, they will be completely eradicated in this life, and after even the fiery pit of hell has been stirred up and destroyed, you will be reborn in the Pure Land of Vidyadhara and the Tathagata. This is without a doubt.
Also, the original Buddha Samantabhadra (Samantabhadra) directly said, “If someone worships the saints of the mandala of the great illusionary and wrathful deity of the Great Illusion, all of the backwardness of the precepts will be purified, the sins of the five unending hells will be purified, the pits of hell will be stirred up and destroyed, and he will be born in the pure land of Vidyadhara and the Tathagata.”
The merit of practicing the Dharma in this way is inconceivable. It is said that by simply hearing the names of the saints of the Mandala once, one will not be born into the evil paths and will ultimately attain Buddhahood.
The original Buddha Samantabhadra himself said, “If any male or female Yogis hear the names of the saints of this mandala just once, they will not fall into the great hell.” He also said, “If anyone reverently worships the saints of the self-nature mandala of Gyuttava, all the lapses of precepts will be purified, and after recovering precepts, they will attain the realm of peace.”

Oh, you who are so compassionate! Even though the pain of death is infinitely great and immense, he now has no friend, no savior, no one to rely on, and no one to care for him.
The light of life in this life is going out, and we are leaving for another unknown world.
We are entering the deep darkness of the Bardo.
I'm falling down an endless cliff.
We are entering into the dark bushes.
I am being chased by the apparitions of terrible karma.
Running away into a barren field.
We are being swept away by a huge tsunami.
It is blowing in the fierce wind.
I'm wandering around without a destination.
We are entering a difficult battlefield.
I am being held captive by a cruel demon.
They tremble in fear of the messengers of King Yeomra.
From the world of karma, we are entering the world of karma again.
He has no power now.
The time has come when I have to go alone without any friends.
Oh, you who are of great compassion! Please become the virtuous refuge of this lonely ○○○! Please become a comfortable refuge! Please become a strong protector! Please save me from the darkness of the Bardo! Please save me from the fierce red karma wind! Please rescue me from the terror of the King of Hell! Please save me from the long and arduous path of the Bardo!

Oh, Ma Ho! The profound, self-generated secret of the four wrathful kings [guarding the four gates of the mandala] who conquer the four demons and achieve self-liberation was born like the roar of a lion roaring without hindrance.

[The secret of Kumarakalasya (the child-treasure-bottle-king)] appears as 'Om Vajra Krodha Kemakeri Karimatsuta Bali Bali Atta Ekarassuri Vasati Enilanila Kaevina Abhisincha.'
After the body of Buddhakumarakalasya (Buddha-child-treasure-bottle-light-king) who defeated the five aggregates with the roar of a lion became one, not two, he was liberated from the realm of self-arising dharma.
(syncopation)
[The secret of Hayagriva (Horse-Headed King)] appears as 'Om Vajra Krodha Hayagriva Hri Sarva Tathagata Mahapancha Om Ayur Jnana Mahapunye Tishta Om'.
After attaining the lifespan of the World-Honored One Hayagriva (Horse-Headed King of Light), who defeated the demon of death with the roar of a lion, he dwells in the Dharma nature of great bliss, eradicates the defilements of ignorance, and attains liberation from his original state without abandoning the five poisons.

[By the secret will of the four kings of the underworld], after destroying the habit of reincarnation and the four demons of the past, and attaining the four bodies of the Tathagata and achieving liberation, [at the time of cremation] wonderful spirit bones, rainbows, light, and sarira appear.

Write this circular mantra mandala on a piece of blue paper the size of four fingers, using gold, the color of Buddha, and write it in a pure manner.
After straightening it without turning it upside down, wrap it in silk.
A pure Buddhist monk who has well-received the precepts should bless this on the 8th day of the lunar calendar at the time of conjunction with the ghost star, and then wear it or carry it on his body [until his death].
By this, two inexplicable karmas of good and evil grow.
Therefore, for the benefit of all sentient beings, diligently cultivate all good deeds and cultivate [the] non-birth.
Do not commit any sin, even if it is small.
A person who acts in this way, even if he has previously committed the five infinite sins, will not fall into the evil paths by encountering this.
This is the method of attaining Buddhahood without practicing the Dharma, and is called Takdol (natural liberation through the body).
Anyone who sees this mantra mandala will attain Buddhahood and be called Tongdol (natural liberation through seeing).
Anyone who comes into contact with this becomes a Buddha and is called Rekdol (natural liberation through contact).
Anyone who hears this recited will attain Buddhahood and be called a natural liberation through hearing.
Anyone who recites this and whose breath touches it will attain Buddhahood, and this is called Chordol (natural liberation through feeling).
There has never been a Buddha in the past who has not seen this, and there will never be one in the future.

Oh, descendant of a noble family! Now that which is called death has come.
Let your mind be like this:

“Ah! The hour of my death has come.
Now, relying on this death, I will only arouse the great compassion and supreme Bodhicitta.
Please make up your mind to achieve Buddhahood for the happiness of all sentient beings who fill the void.
Also, specifically, “I will now realize the light of death as the Dharmakaya for the benefit and comfort of all sentient beings.
After attaining the supreme attainment of Mahamudra in that state, he will perform the work of benefiting all sentient beings.
Even if you do not obtain it, you will clearly recognize in the bardo that this is the bardo.
Thus, after attaining the Mahamudra of unity in the Bardo, I will manifest the transformational body that follows all things and benefit all sentient beings who fill the empty space! Let us arouse the supreme Bodhicitta and aspire to it.
Keep this strong desire in your heart and remember the practices of the teachings that you practiced and learned during your lifetime.

A single ray of clear, transparent, dazzling, and brilliant blue light of the pure consciousness aggregate's wisdom of the body of the Dharma Realm emanates from the heart of the Vairochana Buddha and appears before you.
A splendid ray of light shines down, piercing [the heart] with a dazzling dazzle.
Along with it, the hazy white light of the celestial realm also appears [as if attached to that light of wisdom] and sticks out before you.
At that time, due to the karma of ignorance, you will run away from the dazzling blue light of the Dharma Realm with fear and dread, and instead, you will develop an affinity for the dim white light of the heavenly realm.
At that time, do not fear the bright, dazzling, clear, and radiant light of supreme wisdom! Do not be afraid! It is the light of the Tathagata, called the holy ground of the Dharma Realm.
Believe in it with all your heart, admire it, and embrace it! Furthermore, think, "This light is the ray of Vairochana Buddha's compassion," and pray earnestly! This light is what Vairochana Buddha has revealed to welcome you on the perilous path of the Bardo.
It is the ray of contrast of Vairochana Buddha.

By repeatedly informing them in this way, no matter how insignificant their good deeds may be, even if they do not realize the first one, they will surely realize the second one, and there is no one who cannot achieve liberation.
However, despite being repeatedly reminded, because the dampness of evil karma is strong and has been stained for a long time, and because they are not familiar with the pure sight of the Dharma nature and the five noble wisdoms, they are led down by the dampness of evil karma and fall down even if they are reminded in this way.
Unable to be absorbed by the hook of the light of compassion, they instead wander downwards, arousing fear and dread in the light and rays of the Dharma nature.
So on the sixth day, the combined being of the five Buddhas appears simultaneously with the Bodhisattva retinue.
At that time, the six lights of the six realms also appear.
To awaken the lion, call his name three times and then say the following:

In general, although there may be big and small experiences through practice, there will be many small confusions at the time of death.
Therefore, there is no other means of liberation than this 『Bardo Tödol』.
Also, for those who have greatly practiced and learned, the light of the Dharma nature appears brightly after the body and mind are separated.
Especially for those who have recognized it with a clear consciousness during their lifetime and have experienced it for a moment, when the light of death appears in the bardo of death, its power is so brilliant that it is very important to practice diligently during their lifetime [to grasp it clearly].
For those who have practiced the life-giving and perfect-giving of the main deities of the secret tantra in their lifetime, the appearance of the gods of righteousness and wrath in the bardo of the dharma nature is very powerful.
So, it is very important to practice and learn this 『Bardotodul』 especially during one's lifetime.
Therefore, remember this 『Bardotódol』 completely.
Be completely fluent.
Make sure to read carefully.
Let's think about it honestly.
Recite it continuously three times a day.
Make sure you understand the meaning of the text clearly.
Even if you are being chased by 100 villains, train yourself not to forget the meaning.

Living beings do not know when death will occur.
Therefore, let us observe these symbols of death repeatedly and closely.
If the signs of death appear, abandon all your possessions and have a detached mind.
(Omitted) When the three symbols of death—inner, outer, and secret—appear, if one does not perform the death deception ritual to defeat them, one commits the grave sin of allowing the saints of righteousness and wrath within one's body to perish, and, disobeying the precepts, one falls into hell.
The sutras say that this is greater than the five sins.
Therefore, perform the death deception ritual with all your heart.
