Pathway to the Pure Land

Transference of consciousness, or powa, involves the mind leaving the body and going to a higher state through the force of meditation. Training in this powa practice is learning to separate our own mind from our body through meditation. Through this training we can attain a Buddha’s Pure Land without abandoning this human body. This is a special practice that combines the common powa instructions with the uncommon powa instructions of the Ganden Oral Lineage.
