Critics Review
“The most impactful yoga we can do to transfer consciousness quickly through the fearful stages of death is Phowa. The authors, both scholars and Dzogchen masters, present this secret yoga as one of the easier practices to learn and apply. They clearly explain its origins, purposes, and basics as they inspire us to engage with the bliss, clarity, and compassion of life now and through the time of dying. They set out the essentials of Phowa and ignite our devotion to explore the bardos—the shifting, illusory, and magical states that envelop our core of supreme awareness.” * Johndennis Govert, Tibetan Buddhist Lama, author of Spiral Dragon Dharma Gate and coauthor of The Ch *
“This magnificent volume on Phowa—a precious jewel in Tibetan Buddhism—invites contemplation and transformation beyond mere instruction. It is a beautifully crafted book and is itself a sacred journey and divine experience, encapsulating the essence of mindstream transference. A pure treasure.” * Sheer Zed, author of Thai Tattoo Magick *
“How ironic that China’s quest to destroy the spiritual traditions of Tibet has resulted instead in these wisdom teachings being distributed far and wide around the world to a whole new and receptive audience. The Tibetan Buddhist Practice of Phowa is an extraordinary document. As I near my ninth decade on the planet, the teachings in this book give me great inspiration to approach death as an adventure beyond imagination and not just as ‘lights out.’” * Will Johnson, author of The Radical Path of Somatic Dharma and Radiant Mindfulness *
