Join Dorlop Rinpoche, Dr. Lye, for a rare and vital transmission and teaching on Phowa, the practice of consciousness transference. This profound method prepares us for the most significant act of our lives: the final transition from this world to the Realm of Bliss of the Buddha Amitābha.
NOTE: Please only take this transmission and training if you intend to learn this Phowa for your own preparation for the time of death. Also, if you are unfamiliar with the teacher and/or unsure about the teacher, please do not participate in this program as it will be of no benefit to you and a waste of your time.
The Practice of Phowa (Consciousness Transference)
Phowa is a special method of spiritual training that ensures we approach death with preparation, control, and direction. It offers a path to transfer our consciousness to a higher state—the Realm of Bliss (Dewachen)—when the time comes.
This teaching comes from the renowned Drikung Kagyu Lineage, which is famous throughout the Tibetan and Himalayan world for the effectiveness of its Phowa transmission and practice. It is widely believed that successfully training in the practice guarantees the ability to transfer oneself and even others to the pure land of Amitābha, the Buddha of Boundless Light.
The Rare Pith-Instruction Manual
On Saturday, Dorlop Rinpoche, Dr. Lye, will first give the powerful Phowa transmission. This will be followed by training based on a very rarely taught manual of pith-instructions: The Messenger Who Travels to the Lotus-Endowed Realm by Drikung Dharmakirti (Rikdzin Chökyi Drakpa, 1595-1659), one of the greatest throne-holders of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage.
