Phowa Retreat

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, P'howa is considered one of the most powerful and profound practices. P'howa literally means "transmission": the conscious transfer of consciousness at the moment of death to a state of freedom and clarity, often imagined as rebirth in a pure land.

Yet P'howa isn't just about that final moment. It's also a constant reminder of transience—a truth we can observe daily: in the changing seasons, in relationships, in our bodies, and in the world around us. Everything changes, nothing lasts. By seeing this deeply, we learn to live not from fear, but with greater openness, freedom, and a heart that can connect in trust.

From April 24 to May 3, 2026, our dear teacher Lama Jigmé Rinpoche will transmit these rare and precious teachings. With his clear, warm, and practical approach, Rinpoche makes the essence of P'howa tangible—not as something distant or esoteric, but as a living insight that can inspire us to approach every moment with greater awareness and freedom.

This weekend offers a rare opportunity to receive this timeless transmission directly from an authentic master and to practice together in an atmosphere of trust, openness and dedication.
