Powa

 
 

Through practicing transference of consciousness, known as ‘powa’ with faith, compassion and concentration we can transfer the consciousness of those recently deceased to a higher rebirth or to the Pure Land of a Buddha. The ceremony can be done either by a group of practitioners or individually on behalf of one or more deceased persons, or countless deceased beings.

By engaging in this practice we also create a great collection of virtue, which will also lead us into the pathway to a Buddha’s Pure Land. Please let us know if a loved one has died and we can do this practice for them.
