About the book

A practical guide from the ancient tradition of Tibet for conscious dying and spiritual care. Teaches step-by-step methods for transforming the moment of death into an opportunity for awakening. Offers practical meditations, visualizations, and mantra practices to support the transference of consciousness. Accesses teachings from an unbroken lineage of Tibetan Buddhist masters to help you through life and beyond death The practice of Phowa provides the keys to transfer consciousness at the time of death. Drawing on an unbroken lineage of Tibetan Buddhist masters, the authors present clear, accessible instructions for the five principal types of Phowa—including Dzogchen and Longchen Nyingtik methods—emphasizing the inseparability of body, speech, and mind, and the roles of karma and the bardos in shaping the journey through life and death. The authors offer guidance on visualization, mantra recitation, and subtle body techniques that support the conscious transition of mind at the end of life. They outline daily preparatory practices for the cultivation of devotion and Buddha mind and give practical advice for integrating Phowa into your regular meditation practice. They also address the needs of caregivers and families, offering clear recommendations for compassionate support before, during, and after death. The authors explain how to create a supportive environment, recognize the signs of dying, and apply ritual and meditative practices to assist the dying and the deceased.
