In this talk, Dr. Nida will share insights into the unique practice of Phowa as practised by Tibetan yogis. It is a tantric method taught in traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice by which one's consciousness is intentionally transferred to a pure realm at the moment of death. An important aspect of traditional Tibetan medicine, Phowa training enables a practitioner to approach death as a unique opportunity for liberation from cyclic existence rather than as an experience of fear and uncertainty.
By practising Phowa, Buddhist or non Buddhist, a dying person finds it easier to release attachments and work towards favourable conditions for the liberation of self from Samsara or a positive rebirth. The talk is an opportunity to learn a key esoteric aspect of Tibetan medicine and to understand the process of dying and how to face it with clarity and calm. That, not just the benefits of Phowa may be accomplished at the time of death either for oneself or for others, but it can also be integrated into your daily meditation practice.
This talk is taking place in-person at our college in London
