P'howa Retreat
registration required (click here)

Dawa Chhodak Rinpoche will lead a 7-day P'howa retreat, from the P'howa practice of the Khandro T'huk-t'hik from the Dudjom New Treasures. P'howa is an essential practice of learning to transfer one's consciousness at the time of death to a pure state (pure realm). By practicing and accomplishing P'howa during one's life, we develop the confidence to be able to enact this activity at the time of death, ensuring that we transcend the need to enter the bardo and the endless rounds of rebirth in samsara. P'howa is especially effective as a short-cut to enlightenment and unlike many other advanced practice, there are no requirements (such as ngondro) to be qualified to practice.

This retreat will include detailed teachings from Lama Dawa Rinpoche and four sessions of practice per day. Most of the practice will be conducted outside in the surrounding wilderness, so participants should be prepared to spend time outdoors.
