Phowa Retreat (Transference of Consciousness)
From Magyud/Mother Tantra
With Chaphur Rinpoche
March 29-March 30, 2025 9AM-12PM Pacific Standard Time
In response to the request of many students, Chaphur Rinpoche has generously agreed to give instructions on the practice of Phowa, or Transference of Consciousness. The ultimate benefit of this practice is to steady the practitioner’s mind at the time of one’s own death and to clear any obstacles that would prevent consciousness from rising freely into the enlightened state. In the Bön tradition, for over 18,000 years, Phowa has been performed by empowered lamas for practitioners at the time of death to support the transfer of consciousness to the enlightened state. Today, the practice is being taught to practitioners, not only for their own benefit, but to encourage them to develop the focused practice and intention, that can assist others to attain enlightenment in the dying process. To be effective, one must first receive transmission which Rinpoche will give to those who are attending this retreat. Then, when combined with focused practice and intention, whether performed by a Lama or a practitioner, Phowa can become an expression of Supreme Bodhicitta. ,
