PLEASE NOTE: Due to the tightened regulations due to corona and an internal assessment, the board has decided to cancel the weekend in consultation with Lama Jigmé. So there will be no online teaching either.

Instead, Lama Jigmé will start with an introduction in the Phowa study week from January 2 to 8, 2022. This means that it is possible (in consultation) to participate in this week, without further introduction. This is especially important for those who have not previously received an introduction from Lama Jigmé on this topic and/or who have not previously participated in a study week on Phowa.

 

Phowa is an authentic, traditional and extraordinary method or meditation practice to transform any negative emotion or thought. Whether you are a Buddhist or not, whether you follow a religion or not, one day we will all die. We don’t know when that will be nor can we avoid death. Are you sure you won’t be frightened at the time of death?

Phowa, or the transference of consciousness, allows you to bring your consciousness to a pure perception at the time of death. Anxiety, panic or other mental negativity will be transformed by this method. There are many levels of transference of consciousness, depending on the level of the practitioner. By becoming familiar with this method during your lifetime, you no longer have to fear the moment of death.

It is Lama Jigmé’s deepest aspiration to share these teachings with those who wish to receive them, thereby supporting people at the most important and vulnerable point in their lives: the moment of death.

At the end of this weekend you will have a deeper understanding of the practice of Phowa and, if you wish, you will be able to attend the Phowa Study Week from January 2nd to January 8th 2022.

Because Phowa is a profound and powerful practice, it is only suitable for people without major mental limitations and who are emotionally stable. Please take your responsibility in this.
