When I was a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner, years ago I did a full Bardo retreat
(theTibetan Book of the Dead) and received all the teachings and empowerment and did all the practices. I never think about that these days, though.

I think in addition to what I said in my earlier post, regarding my own practice, I find that together with being aware of impermanence this is a good contemplation from SN22.95 Phena Sutta:Foam.....


Form is like a glob of foam;
feeling, a bubble;
perception, a mirage;
fabrications, a banana tree;
consciousness, a magic trick —

this has been taught
by the Kinsman of the Sun.
However you observe them,
appropriately examine them,
they're empty, void
to whoever sees them
appropriately.
