The Transmission of Phowa

2.30 pm - 4.30 pm

Phowa (‘transference’) is one of the most cherished practices of Vajrayana. Amongst the various cycles of Phowa, that of Amitabha is the most widespread since it provides the means for achieving rebirth in the realm of great bliss at the time of death. Lama Jampa will give the transmission of Amitabha phowa from the Sakya tradition.

This transmission is open to all who have taken Refuge.

Full day £17.50 / half day £10

Mid-day meals are available: hot, cold and vegetarian options are available at £5 a head.
