Teachings On Phowa: Transference of Consciousness with Venerable Lingtrul Rinpoche by TLC Transitional Life Care published on 2024-10-05T14:12:07Z Translated by Cyril Kassoff TLC was honored to host Venerable Lingtrul Rinpoche, a Vajrayana Buddhist meditation master, at our fourth public event on Sept. 27, 2015. Rinpoche had kindly agreed to introduce the profound method of p’howa, the transference of consciousness, utilized during the transition of dying. This p’howa teaching is from the Longsal Nyingpo lineage. Traditionally, one would need to receive a formal transmission or empowerment to accomplish this practice. While living in Tibet, Lingtrul Rinpoche received all the transmissions of the Clear Light Great Perfection from the remarkable master, Khenpo Munsel and practiced all the stages of the Vajrayana from the preliminary practices through Trekchod and Todgal in retreat. He presently resides in the SF Bay Area and at his residence at Kathok Gonpa in Qualicum Beach, BC, Canada.
