Life, Death & Heaven: a Buddhist perspective
Sat 8th Mar, 10am-1pm
Teachings on Powa – transference of consciousness – a special practice to cause those who have recently died to take rebirth in a Buddha’s Heaven.
When someone dies, although their body stays in this world and is buried or cremated, their mind goes to another life, rather like a bird leaving one nest to fly to another. With this basic understanding of rebirth, we can practise ‘powa’ to ensure that our loved ones find lasting peace. ‘Powa’ means transference of consciousness.
Through our loving prayers, we send or transfer the consciousness of someone who has recently died to a Pure Land of Buddha where they no longer experience any suffering. Our ability to help others to be reborn in a Pure Land depends upon the strength of our compassion and our reliance upon the Buddha of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara.
Discover this beautiful practice and the power of compassion and reliance upon holy beings such as Buddha Avalokiteshvara. No previous experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome.
