Ven. Acharya, Lama Panchen Ötrul Rinpoche
will give a course of teachings this winter on:
Training the Mind using the Practice of Powa
POWA is the Tibetan word for the Transference of Consciousness at the time of death. The most important preparation, and practise of Powa, however, is during our life. As in most cultures, death is regarded as a very important time, and we do not know when it will arrive. It is, however, a time of moving into the unknown. Consequently we need an experienced guide who can show us the right approach.
In Buddhism it is the MIND which moves on; so whatever is present in the mind at the time of death is very important. Training the Mind during our life will not only bring happiness and confidence, it eases our fears. Most importantly however it will enable us to be fully present at the moment of our own death, while giving us the ability to offer support and help to our friends, family and other people.
Rinpoche will teach us how to develop the necessary powers and attitudes both in life and at the moment of death, enabling both to be approached with a peaceful and contented Mind.
