“Transfer of consciousness”
It is a practice specific to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
This technique is used to help consciousness “leave the body.”
through the top of the head at the moment of death
and move towards a favorable renaissance
or even towards spiritual liberation.
The goal of Phowa practice is to ensure a peaceful and controlled transition at the time of death, thus avoiding negative or unpleasant experiences that may occur. Through this practice, the practitioner can bypass intermediate states (known as Bardo in Tibetan Buddhism)
or even achieve illumination at the moment of death.
Phowa is often considered an advanced method and requires proper preparation and initiation under the guidance of a qualified lama (spiritual teacher). It is part of Tibetan Buddhism’s broader teachings on death and rebirth and is practiced to help not just oneself but others at the time of death.
Phowa may contain the following aspects:
Initiation and Instructions: Before practicing Phowa, it is essential to receive initiation and detailed instructions from a lama or qualified spiritual teacher. This includes transmitting the line of instruction and energies necessary for practice.
Posture and Relaxation: The practitioner begins by sitting in a meditative posture, relaxing the body and mind.
Visualizations and mantra: The practice includes a series of specific visualizations and recitation of mantras. For example, the practitioner may be instructed to imagine a deity or spiritual master above their head and focus on opening the chakra at the top of their head.
Energy Concentration: Through breathing techniques and concentration, the practitioner gathers their vital energy (prana) and consciousness at a specific point in the body, usually in the area of the heart or top of the head.
Transfer of Consciousness: The practitioner directs their consciousness and energy to the point at the top of the head with the intention of transmitting them to a higher spiritual dimension or plane, such as a pure paradise or a state of enlightenment.
Dedication of Merit: at the end of the practice, it is customary to dedicate the accumulated merit for the benefit of all sentient beings.
It is important to emphasize that the practice of Phowa requires a high level of mental focus, compassion, and understanding of Buddhist philosophy.
It is also crucial not to attempt the practice without the guidance of a competent master.
