what does bardo mean ?

“Bardo” (Tibetan: /ˈbɑːrdəʊ/) means “between two.” Originating in the “Tibetan Book of the Dead,” it signifies the intermediate state of the soul after death and before rebirth.

For us, Bardo represents the transition between physical and digital, transforming individual information into digital legacies that continue beyond life.

Use Cases

Amir

Amir, 75, lives in a premium care home and cherishes the frequent visits from his children. While he values these moments, he worries that his time is limited and wants to ensure his life story and wisdom are preserved for future generations. With Bardo, Amir can create a comprehensive digital profile where he records his memories, stories, and experiences in his own voice, using an intuitive platform that feels personal and engaging. 

Once complete, the family can access Amir’s persona anytime, engaging in conversations and exploring his life through timelines and maps. This shared platform preserves Amir’s legacy while strengthening family bonds across generations. Bardo enables his children and grandchildren to offer the same legacy to future generations when the time comes.

Jane

Jane, 80, has a predisposition to Alzheimer’s and is determined to preserve her memories while she can. With Bardo, she begins recording her life story, favorite memories, and personal values, creating a digital profile that captures her essence for her family. As she progresses, her children and grandchildren join the platform, contributing photos, videos, and shared moments to enrich her profile, ensuring a collaborative and meaningful legacy.

Even if Jane experiences cognitive decline, her family can maintain a connection with her through Bardo’s interactive features. Inspired by her mother, Jane’s daughter Alice also begins creating her own Bardo profile, recognizing its value. This shared platform becomes a space where the entire family can celebrate their stories, stay connected, and ensure their legacies endure.

James

James, 35, is faced with the life-changing news of a terminal illness, leaving him with limited time to spend with his loved ones. As he grapples with the weight of his diagnosis, Bardo provides him with a sense of comfort and purpose by enabling him to preserve his memories, stories, and wisdom for his family. Through the platform, James records heartfelt messages, documents cherished moments, and shares his thoughts and dreams for his children and future generations.

Bardo becomes a collaborative effort as his wife, parents, and family contribute their own memories and photos, enriching James’s digital profile with a multifaceted view of his life. His family can interact with his digital persona, hearing his voice, reliving his stories, and exploring his life. For James, Bardo offers peace of mind, knowing that his loved ones will always have a way to remember him at his best, keeping his legacy alive and providing them comfort for years to come.

Priya

Priya, 60, a retired business owner, reflects on a life filled with hard work, accomplishments, and lessons learned. She dreams of passing on her story to inspire her children, grandchildren, and future generations to follow in her footsteps or create their own paths. Bardo offers her a personalized and meaningful way to preserve her legacy, capturing not just her achievements but the essence of her journey and values.

Through Bardo, Priya creates a digital profile where she recounts her entrepreneurial journey, shares pivotal moments, and records stories of resilience and success.

The final profile becomes a treasure trove of inspiration. For her family, it is more than a memorial—it is a living archive of wisdom, guidance, and love. Priya finds peace knowing her story will not only be remembered but will continue to inspire generations after.
