[00:00.000] 作曲 : Laurie Anderson
[00:11.070] After death, according to the Tibetan Book of the Dead,
[00:14.262] all creatures then spend 49 days in the Bardo.
[00:18.409] And the Bardo isn't a place –
[00:22.531] it's more like a process, that lasts 49 days, as the mind dissolves.
[00:29.599] And, as the Tibetans believe, the consciousness –
[00:32.773] or let's say the energy – prepares to take another life form.
[00:38.017] Bleep. Bleep.
[00:43.052] All goes to darkness.
[00:45.371] And the next thing you see is your next life.
[00:49.149] A slow awakening to this world, or another world.
[00:58.587] Now you are in another form.
[01:01.470] Without a body.
[01:09.119] Recognise this.
[01:23.015] The cities. The mountains.
[01:25.277] The rooms. The trees. The trains.
[01:32.121] Optical illusions.
[01:37.982] Not there. Like dreams made of nothing.
[01:46.882] Things you love, just living things, move with a different speed.
[01:52.706] They disappear.
[01:54.469] Echo. Repeat.
[02:02.833] (...a different speed...)
[02:09.465] Anger, turned to liberation.
[02:14.314] Earth into water. Water into fire.
[02:19.270] Fire into air. Air into consciousness.
[02:46.688] The many days of silence, and loneliness.
[02:57.907] You are not alone in leaving this world
[03:03.436] At first you don't realise you're dead,
[03:06.829] but continue doing things you used to do.
[03:08.884] Looking for things you've lost.
[03:14.790] Your mind overwhelmed by memories. And plans.
[03:19.520] What am I? What am I?
[03:26.704] (...looking for your food bowl and wondering where...)
[03:30.942] Recognise this
[03:37.001] The monkey mind, my teacher calls it.
[03:39.917] Dissolving like moonlight in a cloudless sky
[03:49.583] Recognise this
[03:54.309] You can move through walls
[04:07.997] Recognise this, as the play of your own mind
[04:24.290] Leave attachment to the things you left
[04:30.592] Could I have done this?
[04:33.216] Could I have said this?
[04:38.887] (...get some good food and bring her home...)
[04:46.479] The long ago fears of childhood.
[04:56.358] No solid self.
[05:00.845] The longing after your own happiness. (...own happiness...)
[05:04.511] The longing after your own happiness. (...own happiness...)
[05:10.921] Trapped in your thought flow.
[05:18.503] Wake up. 

Wake up.
[05:31.621] Clocks have stopped.
[05:46.615] Once you wore that. Once you did that.
[05:53.972] Everything you knew about time, slipping, repeating...
[05:59.227] Do not be afraid

.
[06:23.317] Like all mornings,
[06:29.844] (...just as you say...)
[06:35.306] Recognise this.
[06:41.286] Leave behind aggression.
[06:44.994] Leave behind passion.
[07:16.927] Recognise this.
